50 Word Fiction Fridays Vol. 30

So, this is how I found this week’s theme.

Me: Lloyd, what should tomorrow’s theme be?

Lloyd: Sloth.

Me: Sloth? My favorite sin? You think so?

Lloyd: www.notproud.com

Me: What is this?

Lloyd: confessions of sin. I spend a lot of time browsing there. Mostly on Lust.

Me: Why;…. we could have a Seven Weeks of Sin theme!

And there you have it. Over the next seven weeks, we shall explore the seven deadly sins. Sassy! Despite what it says above, we are starting with Pride. I’m going to write mine in the morning because I don’t have my glasses on right now. I have no idea if I am typing the words that are coming out of my head. It’s all one big blur.

EDITED TO ADD:

The Collector

I lined each one up carefully, equal distances from each other. Inspected each for dust or scratches. I suppose some may consider it foolish, the pride I have in my collection, but I have a real sense of accomplishment. It’s good to have tiny achievable goals – quicker pay offs.

  3. Deer season
    Stan hated “city” jokes. He showed them! Bagged the biggest buck! It took all morning to winch it onto the Hummer’s hood.
    With pride, he pulled into the Ranger’s station. Amid the laughter, Stan was handcuffed by the sheriff. Seems, Old Murphy didn’t like his prized steer treated that way.
