This is neat 100 word flash. For kids these games can feel very real until something happens that hurts and then they need the rescue to get them back. The last sentence show how the wild west ride ended. Nicely done.

This is an excellent piece of flash fiction--skillfully put-together, descriptive of characters living an exciting life fighting for good and ending with a charming, amusing surprise.

You did a good job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. I enjoyed
reading it. I like the way you led readers on by not giving away the fun ending. That twist was great. I like the image and the informative notes, too.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

What a wonderful story told in so few words. I was reading along, wondering how he was going to get untangled from the stirrup. Then the ending! What a great twist.

"Hi Yo, Away We Go"
This is a 100 Words Flash Fiction Contest Writing Prompt.
Rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
...
When I was growing up during that period I remember watching Sky King.
The man flu is are playing around helping people.
I remember very little about it since it was in the 50s I was probably about 4.
...
I so vividly remember when last she came out and last she became a hero also.
And many others from Zorro to Roy Rogers.
...
This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It's interesting that you wanted to you want to always play departed Tonto in lone ranger?
But at least you never fell off your horse!

    Thanks for your review and sharing childhood memories. My older brother always wanted to be the Lone Ranger, which is why I always had to be Tonto.

Ah, do I remember those days! Even today, the strains of the 1812 Overture bring out the wanna-be Masked Man in me. Poor Lone Ranger, flubbing his dramatic jump-mount! So embarrassing!
Fun write.
I have one question though, in the first paragraph did you intend to write 'daring' or 'darling'?

Best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee

    Those were the days!
    I'm not sure what you refer to with your query about my intention regarding use of 'daring' or 'darling'? The word I used was 'daringly'.

    Sorry. My eyes have been playing tricks lately. Lee

The Lone Ranger was one of my favourite shows too! Your short piece shows the realism of children as they recreate the wonders that fill their imaginative play. Loved it.

I remember the lone ranger from my childhood. The good guys always wore white hats in those days. I like the twist in your story, the heroes being children playing is a stroke of genius.
