It appears there were two things for sale...Mordeley Manor and blue blooded eggs. Sir Edward gets to keep one, and buy the other. You did a nice job presenting your story in clear succinct language. Your artwork pairs perfectly. Best wishes in the contest.

Interesting. The age of wooing women for many had long since passed, in personal years and in human history. If Sir Edwards is a man of wealth, buying a egg donor, could mean simply buying an entire woman to "do the deed, and grow the seed."

Well, it seems like the Mordeley Manor was not the only thing for sale. Since a blue blood egg donor has been found, there seems to be little doubt about what kind of action old Sir Edward has in mind. No wonder his heart skipped a beat. Let's hope he survives! Well done, and good luck in the contest. Terry.

This seventy-five-word story, For Sale, has the right word count and finds a happy ending for Sir Edward and Mordeley Manor, as his seed will grow to the next landowner. Ok!

Your short seventy-five word flash fiction is well constructed. It has the required component and a nice twist at the end. Sir Edward should get his heir..,

Good luck in the contest.

Well, Sir Edward, there is reason to hope. This is a fun flash fiction that opens up to possibilities. We are easily drawn into his dilemma by your describing his emotions as he puts up his home for sale. Well done! Good luck int the contest.

Your contest entry was in great form, Zanya. I enjoyed
reading it. I could see both a modern twist and one with
a medieval type twist. With modern technology, Sir Edward
found his match and hopefully he will have a heir in 9 months.
This also made me thing of the time of knights and castles
but with modern technology like an anachronism. I liked the
unexpected twist.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Ooh. This was a very new pass at story of someone desperate for an heir. The importance of passing on the name, keeping the blood going for another generation. I really enjoyed this post. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Well, if you can't get woo or get any attention, I guess Sir Edward must be inclined to do the next best thing. I've become a real flash fiction fan of late because of posts like this. Thanks for sharing.
