Very amusing fifty word story Bill, now I am left wondering how the giant lost his skate. I love some of these 'giant' sculptings that come up and this is a colourful one, and a great little story to go witth it. cheers

This is a very enigmatic story, this looks like one of those clownish story and full of surprises, but of course this is not a surprise, I need to use my imagination to fill out the gaps.

This is an interesting poem about a lonely and very large rollerskate. I have never rollerskating in my life. I tried one time I fell and I decided that I didn't want to be hurt anymore so I never put skates on again. May you have a wonderful day and may God bless you. Patricia.

Too bad your story involved only one skate. Were there more, we might have seen a colossal Roller Derby Game. I wonder if that skate truly fit the Giant. That would be quite a feet!

If that were my skate, it would likely be an escape attempt.

When did you find the time to write this. I am sure you did not write while on the run, and I know you were on the run, ya big coward. I would easily out run you, because you see, I don't have to outrun the giant, I only need to outrun you. See you fool!

I'm not sure what i would think or do if i saw that thing rolling its way down the street, especially if i was sober at the time. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, alrightty! I liked all the onomatopoeic words to add brief drama to this briefest of flash forms. Without the picture, I would not have gotten the full impact of the story. At least, it's not a sea creature skate...

Thanks for taking a look, Helen. Yes, a sea creature skate would be ridiculous.

Hi Bill,
Such a fun story. It looks like a girl's skate with pink wheels so I think it's a girl monster. I can see her hair swinging back and forth as she clomps and thuds.
For appearances, lines four and five are single-spaced, and the other lines are double-spaced.

Thank you, Patricia, for giving this a look. The lines are all complete sentences. The one is longer and takes up two lines.

You made me smile here with this little tale Bill, a giant on roller skates whizzing through the town sounds like a lot of fun! Is this a real skate in the picture? Love Dolly x x x
