Six Sentence Stories - Elastic

 It was a bit of a stretch to come up with a SSS for this week's prompt for the blog hop hosted by Denise of Girlie on the Edge's Blog.  Here is what snapped into my mind for Six Sentence Stories - Elastic.



I think you almost have the knack and maybe your dinner if you are lucky, but watch your step and hang on like I showed you. That last blast almost knocked me for a loop, and who knows if I’d ever see you again. 


Oh, oh, I am pretty sure that is Mrs. Morton headed our way; no one has an elastic headband quite like hers. We’d better hightail it into the bushes before she gets one of us with her clippers.


Whew, she’s gone, and now we can finish up our webs. The thistles must have been on her hit list today.

  1. I like to think critters have conversations about us... Gardeners are dangerous to spiders and such. Good job on this.

  2. That was a great take on the theme. Very original and imaginative. A spider teaching her young to spin and catch dinner. Love it.

    1. Thank you. I find their webs kind of fascinating. Did you know that some spiders actually will mend their webs if it has been partially damaged?

    1. She may have gotten too close to a thistle. Fool me once maybe, but fool me twice, never!
