Another contest!!! This one is hosted by the wonderful Vivian Kirkfield and it’s a real challenge: write a story for children in less than 50 words!
You read that correctly. 50 words! I actually came up with a couple. I focused on conveying snapshots of fun childhood experiences and it was a delightful and energizing exercise. But, since we can only submit one, here is mine:

Sigh.
Perfect.
A thankful twirl.
Celebratory swirl.
Hop. Hop. Spin.
BOOM!
Quick!
Run, dash, splash!
Whew.
Made it.
