Today, I thought I would write another short story in exactly #fiftywords. This is not an entry for the current challenge by @miniature-tiger, if you like 50 word stories please check his current challenge out, you can also find my entry to the current challenge (my story is called "Brat!") here

“There is a City in the Clouds,” the old crone said. “Find the Enchanted Tree. Walk its Road.”

Deciphering clues in ancient texts, he eventually finds what he seeks.

He is old, now.

The Road to the City is steep.

He sighs and decides to go to the pub, instead.

Some HUGE news for me!

Another one of my steemit stories has been selected to appear in the Isle of Write Anthology!

“Haunted” is a ghost story (not that the title gave that away or anything) and it currently has 7 parts to it. But it isn’t finished yet. So I had better get on with it, hadn’t I…

It joins my 8 part story “Reunion” that was selected a few weeks ago.

Please support @isleofwrite by visiting their page and checking out their post, they are doing a great job of highlighting good writing, so if you like reading you should really check them out.

You too can be curated and find your story in an @isleofwrite anthology : read the post and find out how!
