Take A Fall




"How have you endured for a century?" 


"Practice"


The Earth shook violently, left a gaping hole where it had stood.


Perfection took a fall.

I guess even with lots of practice, it's mighty hard for an old wooden building to withstand an earthquake! Kudos for using the word of the week. I like your unique take on this week's photo.

It needs some practice to tell something so profound in so few words. Good work

It would need more than practice to be left standing after the earth shook .....

I like the tone of your story, and it seems a teaching tale, too; no matter how prepared we may be, we can still be overtaken by events.

Whups, one big shake and down she comes. Sorry old lady of the books.

This is a nice micro story, Rek. Entirely different than the rest I have read.

This is a different and very engaging slant. You've told a lot in those few characters.

Nice to see you back.

Never mess with Mother Nature-she doesn't have much of a sense of humor I suppose...LOL, good one!

A unique and clever twist on the photo, so much story in so few words.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D

Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
