First cut - a story in 100 words
by franpal @ 04. Sep. 2007. - 10:37:47

Thanks to la_spice for providing the title for this one :)

Here we go, then, another story in 100 words, except this time I have departed from the norm somewhat and gone for poetry rather than prose with comic rather than serious undertones.

Hope you enjoy :o

First Cut

hairdressing scissors

Toni Blain was seventeen

Her world revolved around glamour.

She changed her face, her hair, her clothes,

For fashion, she did clamour.

She hated school, she left last year

And lived a life of ease.

‘Til her parents demanded more from her

Than 2 measly GCSEs.

So Toni, keen to live at home,

Went off in search of work

And found a little hair salon

Where chit-chat was the perk.

And so she trained and gained

Respect whilst frothing in shampoo,

Til they let her make her first cut

And she drove the scissors through.

I think that just about completes the 100-word story challenge and well done to all of you who took up the mantle for the 50-word mini sagas. I might get around to writing another one of those myself, time permitting, if not I'll be thinking about the next writing challenge so watch this space :roll:
