CONJURING RAINBOWS - 100 word story

The Leprechauns are back!

CONJURING RAINBOWS


Paddy clutched his recently retrieved Pot of Gold that Seamus had hidden at the top of the Eiffel Tower and looked around in frustration.
The mischievous reciprocal thieving between Paddy and Seamus had gone too far and Paddy was adrift on mainland Europe.
He crouched by a fountain, invisible to passers by, because that is the nature of Leprechauns.
The city was beautiful to be sure, but he needed to conjure a rainbow to lead him home.
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
Not many people knew that every time it rained on a sunny day, Leprechauns were the culprits.

FIRST GIG - 100 word story

When I was a youngster, my friend and I formed a band. I will never forget our first - and last - gig!

FIRST GIG


“We've done it, Moira. We've got our first gig.” Sandy's eyes shone.
“What? You put us forward for the concert? But this is just a hobby. We can't go public.”
“D'Neem is ready to fly!”
“They won't even 'get' our name.”
Sandy frowned. “We agreed it's a clever take on where Denim was invented.”
“And we're still learning to sing in harmony.”
“Enough with the negative vibes, girl. We need to rehearse our set.”
Moira picked up her guitar with dread. Why hadn't she told her sweet, oblivious friend that she was tone deaf?

OOPS! - 100 word story

I lived in the South Pacific for several years and one of the first lessons I learned was that things rarely happen as expected.

OOPS!

At last! His order had arrived.
Ravi breathed a sigh of relief. His stock ran out months ago. The suppliers kept making excuses and eventually admitted they'd sent his hats to the wrong country.
Oh, come on, thought Ravi. There might not be many countries in the South Pacific, but they were all autonomous. He was willing to bet that consignments to Australia didn't end up in America.
He happily began to unpack the hats. Ravi's brow puckered. Where the hell was Aloha? And what was this? Tonga? Samoa? Ravi looked up at the Fijian sun and sighed.
