Getting Reaquainted in 55

Ever feel like you’re just one step out of sync with the world? Like a shadow on an old television show? 

I’m visiting my daughter this weekend. Hopefully, by February 1st my psyche will be realigned with the rotation of the earth. If not, I will continue to float in a gossamer no man's land.

****
Not really a story, Mr. know-It-All, but it is in 55.


flash-55

Flash 55 is hosted by G-Man (Mr. Knowitall). The idea is to write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you’ve posted your 55. Thanks G-man for hosting.

    You'd better be careful about going to Dr. Doo Doo.

    Sounds like you need to get grounded. Maybe seeing your dd will do it for you.

    its nice just to float sometimes. Visiting your daughter is always a nice thing to do and she will halt the float most likely.... mine would anyway. Ha ha.

    Oh I've so been there - and may still be there -- maybe I've just gotten used to the gossamer?

    Hope you feel better. :)

    Every new month, or day for that matter, is a chance for a fresh start. Great 55!

    Thanks for visiting mine right HERE

    Great 55, I've felt like that at times too, as though disconnected from reality as it temporarily warps around me.

    My 55 is HERE

    But it is a story. Your personal story.

    Great job of evoking a familiar feeling in a limited number of words. It is certainly a feeling that we all have at times.

    It's that baby, isn't it? We aren't as cute as he is, so we lose out. Come on, who have you known longer? ;)

    Very nice!

    The instructor of the writing class that I am attending mentioned flash fiction. I was able to nod knowingly. But if it weren't for blog reading I NEVER would have known what it was.

    I hope you've had a great weekend!
