What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week Lillie Mcferrin posts a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. This week’s word: DIVERSIONS.
None of the usual diversions worked, not the pink teddy-bear, the huge green bird or the purple octopus.
The child rejected all her attempts to console and continued crying loudly and insistently for dad.
When tiny hands pushed her away one more time, she could not hold back any longer.
Already missing her husband and feeling lonely and helpless, she slumped on the couch and started sobbing.
Suddenly she noticed the silence, and then a tiny palm was on her cheeks, gently wiping away her tears.

Shail's Nest 
Teddy, tota and ‘topus faced ejection
Then mum too felt rejection
The flood-gates raised
Making baby amazed
Resulting in palm-to-cheek subjection!
Wah, wah! 🙂
Great take on the prompt, I’m sure there are quite a few mums out there that will recognise this!
I guess so! Thank you for stopping and commenting 🙂
You’re welcome! I’ve just launched a flash fiction challenge myself if you’re interested in taking part, the first prompt is coming tomorrow! Would be great to have you involved 🙂

This is very sweet. I’ve tried Six-Sentence Sunday a few times, but not for a long time. I like the idea of trying Five Sentence Fiction. I might try it!
That’s interesting. Where does the Six-Sentence Sunday happen? i might like to join in some times. One more sentence comes in handy at times, lol 😉
It’s such a sweet story.
Thank you 🙂
