Short story and short words!

This is a little fun challenge to run over the holiday period. A simple short piece of writing of about 100 words but the twist is that none of the words are to be more than four letters long. So, as an example; “the blue seas” would be fine, but “these green oceans” would not! The Judgement day will be 1st January 2012. Who is going to rise to the occasion.

Have a good Xmas!!

Warm for this time of year, isn't it? Not what I'm used to, for sure! No snow or ice on the road, just wet. Nice for now, but come on, this can't be good. I'm not sure just when it came to be this way, but I find that many seem to like it way too much. It's hard to make them care. It's hard not to like mild, snow free days for the New Year. But how much time do we have left? Or is it too late now? No way to know. Just wait, then. Wait and hope.

Very deep for such a short piece and all within the challenge limits. A good bit of work!

"I spy with my tiny eye..."

"Huh?"

"I said "I hate the sky!""

"No, you said-"

"Dude, I know what I said. I did not say "I spy"."

"You sure?"

"Sure I'm sure!"

"How can you hate the sky?" I ask.

"It's blue," It's all he says.

"Is that it?" A nod. I see him turn his head, face the sky, look away, and spit.

"Kind of sad, isn't it?" He bows his head, and I note a lone tear fall to the sand. I see the sea wash it away. I turn and walk off. I won’t turn back.
