This week VV’s guest poster was AuroraLee. Her chosen challenge was GAME.
———————————————————-
Two little girls busily bent over their task. It was tough work; Jenna’s lines weren’t very straight and Dottie’s numbers were often backwards.

“Here, take the yellow chalk, Dottie. I used it last time and I know it’s your favorite.”

The girls giggled as they finished their diagram and reached for stones.

Stanley’s shadow fell over the girls and they giggled again.

“Good morning, girls.”

“Good morning, Mr. Hanklesmann.”

Taking out his yellow handkerchief Stanley polished a medium sized stone. He winked at each girl, stepped back a step and tossed the stone with great care into the first square.


Your turn – do YOU have game? Join us in the 100 Word Challenge.

    This was so great. I love how you related it back to last week! Something about Stanley seems magical, like the wink of an eye kind of magical.

  3. This brings back memories… I wish the people would have joined us rather than complained about us marking up their sidewalks… LOL
