Double Trouble by LisaMay Dualing Dribbles writing prompt entry |
ALL IS VANITYJim came riding his powerful motorbike – all chrome and confrontation – along the boulevard, its throbbing engine dominating the airwaves. He certainly got everyone’s attention. While admiring his reflection in store windows, he smacked into the back of a car stopped at the traffic lights. Pride goeth before a fall – dented.

Writing Prompt | Write a pair of Dribble (50-word) Fictions that have nothing in common except their focus. For example, each Dribble could be the thoughts of two different athletes preparing for a marathon - the marathon is the thing they have in common. The possibilities are endless, but the challenge is to choose something to entertain and really capture the attention of the voters! |
Author Notes This story is based on a situation that did happen to me. No, I wasn't the chick in the car. I have changed the person to be a man (and also the bike wasn't a Harley), but when I got my first motorbike, I was so pleased and could hardly believe it was really me so I kept looking in store windows to see myself. And then I really did run up the back of a car!! What a blow to the ego to be noticed for all the wrong reasons. A good lesson to pay attention though. They do say that the best way to learn is to undergo a jolly big fright. |
