50 word story - Anima



Of course, she likes the fact that men are embracing their feminine side. She’s just surprised at the corporate sponsors pumping money into the new national Dancing round Handbags challenges. Sometimes she’ll listen to the crowd’s roars, see their ornate hairstyles and she’ll wonder if it’s really been worth it.

There’s a balance to be struck, is what Hershell thinks. And it’s not always easy. Pints down the pub and Darts League Fridays. That’s with Tom. Then dressed in skirt and stockings on a Saturday and touching Robbie’s arm when they dance. And Hershell is a man for all seasons.

So, over a century of spectator sports and then the feminists blew their game apart as cleanly as the half-time whistle. The uprising had gathered momentum; the Mexican waves, the chanting, the synchronised arm movements. But now the role reversal was complete: the players came to watch the crowd.

Nice one, Douglas, and ooo, Kathryn, I like the idea of the shift around so the watchers become the watched.

Was just totting up these 50 word flashes... I've now thrown up more than 40 on your site, Sarah. So, thanks for letting me do this. They continue to be fun little exercises. And just sometimes suggesting a fuller story to be written and, once so far, I've done this.

Brilliant, Douglas. Glad they are of help. I need to do more but I've been a bit busy.
