Bhavini watched the pea roll away from her. She looked over at Hrish, who was immersed in his newspaper.
Ears twitching, she pounced on the pea, whiskers and paws flying through the air.
Word count: 33
Prompt: Open the book you are reading right now (or a favourite if you aren’t reading anything, oh, and shame on you!), turn to page 33 (or 33% on e-readers) and write a super flash fiction about the first proper noun (person, place or thing) on the page! Word count is 500 as usual, but feel free to use 33 as your word count for this week!!
The book I am reading is Potluck- An Anthology
The first proper noun on page 33 is “Bhavini”

Ha ha ha – so it was a kitten … ? Cute story Shailaja – can see the scene in my mind:-)
Then I have succeeded in painting the picture <3
This is super. I love your prompts and such innovative ideas.
Have to try it out for myself.
You’ll enjoy it tremendously, Inderpreet 🙂 I guarantee it!
I am amazed how even in 33 words you can twist the tale. Could never think of Bhavni being a cat!!!
He he he. Thank you so much, Shesha 🙂 That was the idea 😉 Glad you finally managed to get the page to load.
As I was reading your short story, my cat Link pounced on one of his toys right by my feet! It was serendipitous.
He probably read my post just as you turned on the laptop 😉
Deliciously cute:)
Thank you!
Cute is indeed the right descriptor here, Shailaja 🙂 33 words, how micro can you get? That’s what I want to know 🙂
I think this is the least I have tried so far. Must push the limits and see what is possible 😀
hahaha that’s so cute 😀 Interesting prompt.
Thanks Raj!
Aww…the name ‘Bhavini’ was quite deceptive! I imagined her to be Hrish’s wife 🙂
But the cat and the pea created a vivid imagery. Loved it!
Ha ha ha. That was the idea- to mislead 😉
Very cute. Little kitties love to do that.
They do, don’t they? 🙂
