The Bag Lady

Once upon a time there was a princess named Sara. She adjusted her bodice and curls, with the new shorter hairdo.

The siren’s souvenir, cracks on my cabin window, to give me a warning. My ears still ring and the sting of her tendrils seen on my arm, show evidence of her touch. I never believed the old sailors’ stories, but now I know. I was lucky to sail free from her dangerous waves.

Saturday Six Word Story Prompt (6WSP) #146 – Aug 2, 2025

Conference does not apply to a group of animals. Searching for some clever animal group names, found murder of crows my favorite, but a mob of kangaroos might imply they also are dangerous when gathered. Scariest was a clutter of spiders! Yikes!
