Talking Sandals

I placed third in a writing contest.

The contest was held over at Natalie Whipple’s blog. She posted a Five Word challenge–you had to use the five words she chose in a story. And it had to be 333 words…or less.

The five words:

sociolinguistics
fustigate
defenestrate
katana
lenticular

Some of those I had no clue what they meant. Thank you, internet dictionary, for clarification Anyway, I wrote a story about the mythical bakezori–otherwise known as a straw sandal that comes to life. 

The Talking Sandal

That creepy little thing helped get me 3rd place in the contest Head on over to Natalie’s blog and read my entry The Talking Sandal if you’re curious. Also read the other two–they are awesome in their own right!
