December AW Blog Chain

The ‘topic’ if you will for December is “Hint Fiction”.  A story in less than 25 words. No problem right?

Well if you have followed the chain you have seen the triumphs and trials of creating these short pieces of work.

I keep trying to change mine, but it’s that whole add a word subtract a word that has gotten me. I hope you enjoy it.

Before I forget, JHUK is the post before mine; and GradyHendrix is next.

Okay! Here’s mine…

They cringed at the sound. Remembering their first landing, and the words that followed:

“Dammit! They never fold quick enough.”

The newest Harbinger had arrived.

The following all participated in the chain this month.

  3. I’m a bit confused, but can concoct multiple meanings. Everything revolves around how you’re using “Harbinger”. It’s capitalized, so to me it implies more meaning than just “harbinger” or a foreteller of something. But there’s definitely something interesting there. Merry Christmas!

    • I didn’t mean to confuse. Just leave out about 20,000 words. lol :)

  4. These bits are definitely on a quick slide to homebase now! I love reading them, even if I don’t always ‘get’ it. Harbinger? Fold? I’ll bet there’s a good double-meaning here.

    • Depends on how you use the words. :)

  5. That “fold” is driving me nuts! I’d keep reading just to find out what exactly that means.

    • LOL!
      If I ever get the rest of it done….
