Pants on Fire, A Saturday Centus

The Saturday Centus is termed a "centus" for a reason (or so I thought); we compose a piece within 100 words based on a given prompt. Ms. Jenny, an extraordinary woman and writer, is still in a mood. This week, we're allotted 15 measly words. So don't expect too much. You really can't. But do check out the other offerings. There are much more sane writers than me  whose blogs are well worth visiting.  The prompt is bolded below, as usual.  


Before I die I want to
sky dive again from one mile high
But I’d settle for telling a glorious lie.

    Well, the lying part is easy enough to accomplish. Look how many do it so well.

    PS The sky diving's a lie. Oops, that wasn't clear, unless you know me!

    Hah, I knew it straight away! Hurtling through the air with legs akimbo is not something nice Jewish girls want to do!

    Good one, I asked my children to finish this prompt and they all said skydive. Not my dream, scared of heights.

    Fabulous lie. If you'd made it less than a mile, I might have bought it.

    Love this, Robyn! Go for the lie. It's safer!

    Thank you for your kind thoughts about my SC-text. Actually, my daughter can sing. We used to sing a lot together. I am happy with that if that is all that is given to me.

    Take care!
    Hugs,
    Anna

    You made the best out of 15 words! It's perfect. Leaves enough to the imagination, too! Would love to know what that "glorious lie" would have been! LOL!

  32. TS HendrikJuly 28, 2011 at 8:26 AM

    Yeah, if the question is skydiving, I'd rather lie myself to sleep at night. You seen that video of the sky diver whose shoot didn't open, where before he hits the ground he says something to the effect of 'I'm dead'? Huh-uh... I like life.

  33. JennyJuly 29, 2011 at 4:16 PM

    I'd have to be all about the lie.

    You impressed us all with your imagined adventure!

    This was a neat twist.

    I love coming here.

    Thanks, all.

    TS, that's really funny, just not for the sky diver.

    I love the fact that I'm not the only one too scared to sky-dive.
