Flash fiction - Goldilocks and the Three Bears
The prompt this week over at Julia's Place this week has been inspired by Save The Children's literacy campaign Change The Story. We have 100 words to rewrite the ending to a favourite fairy tale. There are so many great fairy tales, it was hard to choose just one, but this one kind of wrote itself. So here you go: Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
“MUUUUUUM! Goldilocks stole my iPhone! She lost hers again.”
Little Bear could be heard reasoning with his adopted sister. They had loved each other. Mummy Bear couldn’t pinpoint when they had become so distant.
Goldilocks bounded in, all plaits and innocence except for the heavy eye make-up and miniscule skirt. She sat, sulking.
“Tell me, Darling,” Mummy Bear said, spotting a tear slide out her daughter’s dark eyes.
“Can’t.”
Mummy Bear knew, right then. Her daughter was pregnant. She would help, they would support her of course. But first she had to ask: “Who’s been sleeping in your bed, Love?”

Flash fiction - Connection
It's been a while since I've found some time for a spot of flash fiction. But today's the day. Over at Julia's Place, the 100WCGU prompt is ... but sure it is pointless ... I think this idea came after spending a week with my parents recently! Comments welcome!
Victor fiddled with the black box. Dot hovered. He could see her worn slippers out of the corner of his eye.
“Are there lights, Vic? If lights are flashing it means something.”
Victor couldn’t feel his knees. “No lights, Love.”
The slippers disappeared. “Maybe we’ve got to download.”
“What?”
Dot held the instructions an inch from her face. “What do you think? Shall we download?”
“OK. But it is surely pointless when we don’t know what that is.”
“Maybe it brings the flashing lights?”
Vic heaved himself up. “Maybe we should have a cuppa, wait for our grandson. The internalnet is harder than it looks.”
