Friday Fictioneers time again (it has been a while!). The aim of the game: a story of 100 words or less, based around a photo. This week the photo is courtesy of J Hardy Carroll and the stories hosted, as always, by the lovely Rochelle
Here is my offering (word count: 100)…
I lay there, lights dancing like fireflies around my side-on view of a pair of feet, wondering where I was. I could hear the dull rumbles of (concerned?) voices. Every now and again another pair of feet wandered into the blurred frame. My head felt like an elephant was standing on it. My shoulder, the one I was lying on, appeared to be at right-angles to where it should be.
Then I remembered.
Maybe boxing wasn’t the sport for me. 1 fight; 1 punch; 1 KO (not in my favour). My shoulder would mend quickly; my ego not so easily!
I hope you enjoyed it. Check out the other’s stories here…
Sounds like there are better sports for you… and maybe it’s better so

Yeah, boxing may not be the way to go. Competitive cake decorating is an option. 😉

Dear Sarah,
Bruised egos do take longer to heal than the physical ones. Good story and good to see you here. 😀
Shalom,
Rochelle

Yeah, I’d say goodbye to boxing. But then, I’d never have said hello to boxing 🙂

I like the way you’ve constructed your story from the ground up! What a good idea to write from the pov of a novice who’s just been knocked out!
