5th's Sunday Seven: World's Largest Dreadlock





intrigued, one could not help but stare  
pondering the how
the why

the mystery

behind

her mass

of hair


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These were from photos of my trip to NYC last summer. I was absolutely fascinated by this woman's huge mass of matted hair. Was it a dreadlock? Was it just a giant rat's nest? Is this a cultural symbol that this mid-west gal is unaware? 

Anyway, what story can you tell in 7 words, lines, images, whatever. The rules are loose. I'll read your entries and comments when I return home from work.

Microfiction Muse #9: Bobbing Contest


Ed was excited 
to be participating 
in the tribe’s annual ritual:
Little did he know 
that it was his head, 
not apples, 
they’d be bobbing for.

(140)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Micro-fiction Muse involves writing a very short story (140 characters max-including spaces) based upon a photo prompt. I make it my goal to always use140 characters exactly. Diane Estrella is our host for this weekly meme. Please be sure to visit her blog for complete rules and to visit other participants.
