~Second of all~
It's time for the Second Crusade Challenge!!
So, in 100 words or less (you're keeeeling me Rach!) we are to write a flash fiction story starting with the words, "The goldfish bowl teetered". For even more of a challenge, write it in the genre you write.
Hmmm, so here is my Paranormal flash fiction starring a goldfish!
Lol!
The goldfish bowl teetered on the edge of the counter. Light flashed inside, casting warbled light on the walls."Creepy carny guy gave me a radioactive fish!" I yelled, ducking. I heard a strange whine then a loud pop, glass shards & water sprayed the kitchen. I peeked around the corner & gasped. A hot, yet very naked, guy replaced the fish. He blinked at the water dripping from his dark hair. "What the hell?" he mouthed before noticing me. He startled and grabbed the glass fruit bowl next to him, oranges bounced at my feet.
I smiled & wondered if I should tell him the bowl just magnified & distorted.
"Hi," I said instead. "I named you Ariel, I'm guessing that'll never do."

Whatever! HIS name could be Skidmark and I bet no one would care!
Thank you CW's Smallville for casting hot guys
and someone named cherryvamp over at Photobucket for the pic!
What a hoot. I love it! :O)
ReplyDeleteBahahahaha! Love it! Poor Ariel must be so confused...
ReplyDeleteNice! Poor guy - what an awkward situation (but totally hilarious).
ReplyDeleteGreat story. I got a good laugh from that.
ReplyDelete"I smiled & wondered if I should tell him the bowl just magnified & distorted."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA! Love it. You=genius.
Ha! Sounds like he was being Koi.
ReplyDeleteGreat Flash fiction piece!
ReplyDeleteLOL! So true, you could call him whatever and it'd be okay. ;-) Well done!
ReplyDeleteI am still laughing. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I totally love your story. Great job!! hehe. Love the bit about the magnification. hahaha
ReplyDeleteClever flashfic! Good job on the paranormal take. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome flash fiction. I love the stuff going on in the auction too :)
ReplyDeleteVery yummy entry into the flash fiction challenge.
ReplyDeleteWell done. Had me laughing!
ReplyDeleteNikki
Oh that was great. Well done! Nice picture of aqauaman wink wink.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love it!
ReplyDeleteROFL! That's a wonderful story. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteOhh, nice. Lovely aquaman. So sexy.
ReplyDeleteMan, I need to go to more carnivals. Wait, I'm married. Scratch that :)
Love it!! And I'm with you I like aquaman regardless of his name. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! No, Ariel will never do. :)
ReplyDeleteAriel will certainly not do. Awesome take on the beginning. Love the 'carney' atmospherics.
ReplyDeleteDenise<3
Haha! Nicely written, and great detail. I didn't know what was going on at first. You've done a great job of fitting an entire story into very few words. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteLOL, wish my goldfish turned into...that :D~ Great post!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Rach
Creepy carny guy! Ariel! Ha ha, this was a great piece! :-)
ReplyDeleteTerrible...but funny.
ReplyDeletewell what to say!! how much magnification? how much distortion? I'm only asking
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's a tight spot and doesn't get to have much say over his name! LOL!! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteNO! Ariel will never do!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great take on the goldfish fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
Too bad hot guys don't drop into every kitchen like that.
What a fun, thoroughly entertaining story! Loved your take on the prompt!!
ReplyDeleteGreat story! Great picture. Great imagination.
ReplyDeleteLove the line about the glass fruit bowl. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour story made me smile and my mind went straight to the gutter. Thx. Nothing like a hot naked man standing in the kitchen. :)
ReplyDeleteNot a hot genie in a bottle, but a hot bewitched guy in a fishbowl. Where can I get one????
ReplyDeleteStick with Ariel. It may help to level the playing field for the rest of us. At least we could feel better about ourselves by teasing him.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are all so AWESOME! I love reading these comments and I'm sorry I've been a little absent lately. Whenever I have a spare moment from the madness that is spring I'm on Twitter spreading the word about Write Hope http://write-hope.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHave you checked it out yet? ;-) Lol!
Thank you guys for laughing or at least saying you laughed. Haha!
@Thingy~ OMG! Too funny! Yes, yes, it does sound like he is being Koi! (snickers)
@Rach~ You and me both!
@Alberta~ I think your imagination should just run with it. ;)
@Adina~ I think we should all make a pact that if any one of us find such a goldfish it'd be only fair to share. ☺☺
I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's stories! A very fun Challenge!
Just wanted to let you know that I gave you an award on my blog today :)
