This is for Lillie McFerrin’s Five Sentence Fiction.
The word this week is: Flight.

“Your hair is such a bird’s nest,” said her mother.
She ran a comb severely through Ellie’s ringlets, neatly dividing the curls from one side to the other.
Ellie wished she wouldn’t say such things. When her mother tugged too hard, the birds always took flight.
The birds did make such a mess.
The frustration of curly hair, simply and truthfully put! Lovely.
So very sweet. You capture the young mind so well. 🙂
I adored this! It so reminded me of many strange videos I have watched and enjoyed over the years. Even “The Addams Family” came to mind.

The image captured my mind, you filled it with fancy. As always, VERY well done!
Your writing is so reflective of your dear and imaginative spirit. Very nicely done, Anna :)))
This may be a duplicate comment as second attempt; sorry
Anyway I love the simplicity of the piece; the gorgeous cuteness of the character. The image is amazaing too! xx
Ha Mrs Loy – Love that image and your wonderful imagination..xx
A whimsical idea of an age old problem. Snarls and knot tugging was a daily ritual for me as a child. Love the way your blog site looks.
How completely charming and delightful! I’m leaving with a smile.
