Four By Four
Today in Jim Adams’ Song Lyric Sunday post
entitled ‘Work Harder Day’, he has asked us to
write about a song that includes the words
work or hard. Bonus points for using both!
Written for Song Lyric Sunday, here’s my response.
Bones Of Steel
Introduction: More Italians have emigrated to the United States than any other people in Europe. When they first arrived, speaking no English, they learned very quickly the only jobs available to them were in sanitation and construction. They took pride in their work. The resulting cathedrals and skyscrapers dotting Manhattan are testaments to their craftsmanship and determination.
I will not lie; this is not a new piece. It’s been
whittled down from its original 746 words to
250 words for The Unicorn Challenge where
we are urged to get creative using the photo
below as our inspiration. This is my story.
A Whole Lot Of Nothing
Our gracious host, Rochelle, at Friday Fictioneers
asks us to use the photo below as inspiration

making every word count. This is my flash.

using the word “merge” in exactly 28 words,
this is my fast food flash fiction.
