Coolville (microfiction)
“Honey I’ve really gotta go.”
“you’ll hafta wait for 25 miles”
“The other option- trees or… Coolville”
“Several people have died in Coolville. Stop at the tree.”

Have a great week x

Now you have me wondering about Coolville……….:)
August 30, 2010 at 4:14 am
Don’t stop there my dear
August 30, 2010 at 8:39 pm
The tree seems the best option to me
Nice one.
August 30, 2010 at 5:04 am
Ha – glad you agree
August 30, 2010 at 8:38 pm
I love this conversation: “Several people have died in Coolville” is a crack-up.
Have a great week.
August 30, 2010 at 7:06 am
that’s true – because people do die of natural causes – tho do cool people die???
August 30, 2010 at 8:37 pm

August 30, 2010 at 7:58 am

August 30, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Death at Coolville? How could that be? I could understand attitude or apathy there, but not death.
August 30, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Another fine mircrofiction…how you colapse so much information into so few lines is always amazing.
August 30, 2010 at 2:34 pm
oo how exciting was this xxx
August 30, 2010 at 3:28 pm
And WHY did they die, I wonder? Interesting one!
August 30, 2010 at 3:36 pm
LOL!! Awesome!! But now that I think about it (again)…why did so many people die in Coolville?!
A neat read, Moon
August 30, 2010 at 5:37 pm

“Several people have died in Coolville. Stop at the tree.”
That is so quotable, Moon. I’m sooo-ooo gonna be saying that to folks I meet today, and they’re sooo-ooo gonna look at me like I’m 15 headed hydra!
August 31, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Tony you sooooooo make me laugh – 15 headed hydra probably better than a 15 year old – lol
August 31, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Did they die because they weren’t ‘cool’ enough? Good one, and yes, I guess I’d choose the tree too. Cheers!

Trees don’t have closets for skeletons – lol

Well after the French chef was found in his own freezer, “Coolville” really does sound dangerous!
But oh boy — 25 miles or a tree? What a dilemma LOL

Like your story, MD. Answer could have been ‘drive faster to Belpre.’ That’s because you can get poison ivy from trees.
You and I are on the same story, yours had a different (better?) ending.
