Good morning fellow Centusians! I always look forward to Saturday morning (except the ones I have to work tee hee) to see just what our Miss Jenny has in store for us. Time to knock the cobwebs out of our brains, down gallons of coffee and write a short - really short - story of 100 words or less based on a writing prompt supplied by Jenny Matlock at Off On My Tangent. The rules remain the same. No pictures, no vulgarity, and no splitting the prompt. And Jenny, being the soul of generosity that she is, keeps the link live all week, so we have plenty of time to come up with something. This week, Jenny is shaking things up. No written prompt, we have to write our story based on this picture.
Seriously? Try and visit all the links. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this!
Here goes nothing folks, hope you enjoy.
The Last Laugh
Well, well, well. What do we have here? A snowstorm! Ada couldn't wait until all those naysayers woke to see what Mother Nature brought last night. Living in an orange grove was pretty boring most times. When little Miss Cindy came back from her New York shopping trip, she brought tiny hats for us oranges. She said it would keep us from getting cold. Ina and the others had laughed when Ada wore hers with pride, rain or shine. She wasn't going to be the one to stifle that child's imagination. Bet they won't be laughing today!

It always pays to indulge a child in her infinite wisdom, even when you're an orange!

You win the prize for creativity! I mean WOW! I'm impressed, Kat. Loved this...

Unexpected twist. You let this be about a child who does something crazy, that turns out to be the right thing!
I love this SC-text.
Very well done!

The snow does look like a fuzzy Russian hat, great story:@)
What a cute and creative take on this week's prompt, Kat! A sweet story!
I thought that looked like a little hat as well. SO cute, it would be a great children's story....the main character is an orange!
This is really a sweet story, Kat! Hats for oranges makes sense when frost hits the orchard.:)
It does look like a hat doesn't it. Very good Kat!~Ames
Clever and sweet!
How funny, Kat! Our fruit is gonna need a hat tonight! And about the candles...yes, I learned the hard way that they melt! lol This summer I'll just put starfish or something non-melty! Did you get that huge storm? Hope you are warm and cozy today!...hugs...Debbie
A child's imagination is a beautiful thing. You grabbed it here.
Loved it!!!
Great take, Kat, with this picture prompt! The orange must be deliciously eating cold :-)
Kat, you are fantastic at these stories - so clever! Linda
This is perfectly precious, Kat. Thanks for making me smile widely.
PS I skipped class this week, having no clue what I'd do with this prompt. You are always so clever.
xoRobyn
love it!!!
The orange does look like it's wearing a hat - a Santa hat, to be exact :-)
That was a tough prompt - love your take on it :-)
I used to have a hat like that. It was a lot warmer, though. Thanks for your comment on my post, Kat.
I continue to absorb and savor everything you write, like a greedy little muse asking for more fruit :)
LOL original and adorable :)
I'm loving this week with so many different styles and tales and twists. Loved the personification in this one.
Hi Kat! So nice to hear from you! And great take on that prompt! Those wonderful kind oranges like Ada...Thank goodnes there's one in every crowd....ahem I mean grove *winks* Vanna
Well done darling, temperatures around here promise to be below zero tonight perfect for staying in and catching up on line... hugs ~ lynne ~
Okay quick, tell me where I can order some of those hats for our oranges here in Florida!
It may not be snowing, but the freezing temps are threatening our produce once again.
Btw, do they come in strawberry size?
I am far too late in commenting....loved this...I did see the hats in the pic....hats off to all of you who wrote such lovely posts, I didn't dare.
You got me!
Another creative story from the viewpoint of the orange!
That didn't enter my mind at all.
Clever, clever girl!
Thanks for a wonderful stop today.
Thank you for linking and share this little gem with us!
