The halfway point in Bradan Writes Stories Seedling Challenge, calls for a Postcard Fiction short story.

Here is the original challenge Bradan put together for anyone who is interested in following along or even wanting to test the waters.

This is my ‘Part 4’ of the Bradan Writes Stories Seedling Challenge.

Part 1 of the Seedling Challenge was to write a Dribble. A Dribble is a flash fiction short story of 50 words and is harder to write than it sounds, but it’s also a lot of fun and a great sense of achievement when you succeed.

Go ahead, give it a try!

Here is my Part 1 Challenge entry : My Dribble and is the beginning of my fiction story.

The Ferocity of the Animal World

The survival of the fittest

The large python stalked the small piglet through the undergrowth, its skin undulating in stealthy silence.

With a resounding squeal, the piglet fought a hard fight as the python coiled tightly around its midsection, when suddenly the piglet’s mother flew towards the dangerous python and ferociously attacked in indignant fury.

Part 2 of the Seedling Challenge is a Drabble, which is a flash fiction short story of 100 words and to make it more interesting Bradan’s challenge asks that we build on our previous Dribble from Part 1 of the challenge.

By continuing on with Part 1’s Dribble, my fiction story will begin to build, expanding creatively into a longer fiction short story.
