The Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction prompt for December 17, 2020: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that features stilettos. Who will wear them and why? Go where the prompt leads!
Respond by December 22, 2020.
“Lizzie, are you ready for school? You better not be in my closet again, young lady. Besides, the bulb burned out, you can’t see anything.”
The eleven-year-old sighed. How did her mother always know what she was up to? All she wanted was to borrow her mom’s shoes to match her dress for picture day.
Lizzie stumbled in the darkness and stuffed the shoes in her book bag.
“See you tonight, Mom.”
At school, all eyes were on Lizzie wearing her mom’s black stilettos as she wobbled across the floor to take her place for the sixth-grade class picture.

Realistic for sure, in too many ways this flash. Nicely done.
(Just wondering- how many syllables, these 99 words?)

Yes, 99 words. I used Word to compose and check. I hope I didn’t miscalculate. I’m trying to take breaks from packing. Anything is possible. 🤣🤦🏼♀️❤️

I’m not a shoe collector. But I one time when I went to Italy I brought back some leather flats for a friend!
A fun read.
