Meanwhile here's my 150 word flash fiction for this week.
LADY
She sat in a field
behind my parents house. She’d seen better days but I love that car. My Dad’s pride and joy, he’d bought her as a
fixer-upper She was all that, with no back seat. In those days cars didn’t have
seat belts, so for the first couple of weeks, we three sisters sat on little
stools, so low to the floor we couldn’t see out the windows. When Dad went
around a corner, we were too short to reach the ‘oh shit handles’, and we’d
slide off the stools onto the floor in a tangled mass of giggles. Dad would
glance over his shoulder and shout: “You girls stop that fooling around.” Like
we’d planned the whole thing.
We named her Lady, from
the movie, Lady and the Tramp. She may have lost her looks but not her style or
her memories.
She was still Lady.
