DP Daily Prompt: Slash and Burn
Write five hundred words on any topic you like. Now remove 250 of them without changing the essence of your post.
“I’ve come to buy a sickle.”
“A nickel?” He gave him one.
Run along now I have work to do!”
Mom was upset when she saw me without the sickle. “Where’s the money!”
I showed her the nickel, “He gave me this.”
Mom ordered , “Come back with the sickle.”
A sage walking by saw my tears and asked, “why are you crying?”
He laughed when he heard my story.
“Don’t laugh I am in trouble.”
“Let’s go, I will teach the guy for cheating.”
“What did you say?”
I did not understand him. He disliked my question and told me to walk . In my imagination I turned into a Sasquatch, made plans to take revenge,I must kill him, I grabbed the sage’s shirt and yelled, “I will kill you.”
The sage was surprised, said something in his language , lifted me by my neck and bellowed, ” Kill me huh, let’s see who kills whom!”
Wild thoughts occupied my mind, I was dead vultures were tearing me to pieces, the sage was on the hill laughing .
My soul was in heaven, Rumi,Iqbal and Waheed, were looking at me. I’m hungry I said.
Instantly two women appeared with delicious food. I was about to eat it, suddenly I felt someone shaking me.
I opened my eyes, the sage said . “Hi.”
“Let’s get the crook.” I yelled.
“All right then let’s go .” The sage smiled!

Dear Ranu,
What a wonderfully creative story you have shared. Thank you for it!
We especially like the part wherein your soul was in heaven, and you saw Rumi, Iqbal and Waheed looking at you. Help is never far away.
All good wishes,

Dear Robert,
Thank you.You know we had to write a five hundred words anything, then reduce it to 250 words,
it wasn’t easy. 🙂
That is a nice challenge. Fun for us to read. Maybe taxing for you to slash.
Thank You, Sonya.It took me a while to slash and burn
250 words after writing 500. But I think it’s a good
exercise. 🙂
