Two feet down; a hundred to go. The prince had better be in the tower.
Damn the sorcerer. Just because I wouldn't dance with him, he makes me a green frog. I never looked good in green.
Ouch! These bricks are hot.
If Prince Charming would just let down his blond locks, and pull me up, this would be a lot easier. One kiss, that's all it'll take. Bet he won't do it either, the jerk.
Ugh, I just broke a nail! Why didn't someone tell me being in a fairy tale would be this hard?

That's hilarious! I love it!! Great job!!!
Thanks, Paige. I wrote it several years ago for a flash fiction contest and won. I'd never done flash fiction before. It has to be less than 100 words.
I can see why you won! You did a great job!
So when the girl frog gets to the top, what's the prince look like??? HAHAHAH!!!
LOL...well, we know he has blond hair. And I don't think he's exactly 'prince charming.' LOL. Sounds a little conceited to me.
Conceited? The frog should go back to the bottom and find a nice man with a job and decent hair. HAHAHAHAH!!!
What a great excerpt. I can see why it won!
Oh, that's not an excerpt...that's the whole story....less than 100 words...
Loved the fairy tale. What a clever idea.
Hi, Maryann! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, Anna,
Which came first, the image or the story? Because they fit perfectly!
Wonderful little flasher, definitely a winner.
Warmly,
Lisabet
Hi Lisabet. The picture came first. We were given the picture and told to write a flash fiction about it. I doubt there were more than 5 entries, as it was a small writer's group, but being a romance writer...I had to go that route.
