RE: Free to race - fifty word story contest

in #fiction7 years ago

The old dog twitched in her dreams, then stretched, barked joyfully, and raced away across the sunlit fields.

Actually what happened to the old dog? Was it a mercy killing?

Sort:  

Yes, I wondered if it was going to come across - hard in 50 words! The idea is that she is euthanised and this sets her ‘free’ to race again. Don’t know if it makes sense!

That’s is what I thought from reading it. The 50 word restriction is a real challenge. I find that I play with the words quite a bit to get it just right. It is not easy! 😊
