I Bring You Bill
balance sheet ok
*I just haven’t been able to blog as often as I’d like to lately, and today’s Plinky Prompt looked like a lot of fun. Write a 100 word story WITHOUT using the letter ‘e.’ Why don’t you give it a try?
Publish a story without that worn-out, paltry digit? Okay. Though, you must know it will subsist of concoction only. Any analogy drawn or similarity to your own conditions is wholly fortuitous.
I bring you Bill, who, for motivations unknown to most, was apt at adding (computation living within at full-mast as air constrains a living soul). So apt was Bill at adding that many a good company was wont to hunt his approval on all things involving a tally, rallying round to watch summations grow. Until that fatal day, not a soul did fathom that Bill would compound and burn.
What a riot, Heather – and a riot in more than one way! Doing this sort of thing makes everyone an artful dodger! Thanks for the idea – I might give it a try, but I have another challenge about grass to write yet!

Thanks.
It’s good to flex our thinking muscles first thing in the morning. You’ve piqued my interest with your grass challenge. Hope you post it.

Thanks so much for dropping in, Angelia, and taking the time to keep up when you’re battling so much right now. What a blessing you are.
