Comment from Bill Schott
This seventy-five-word flash fiction story, Country Dreams, has the proper word count and finds father and son enjoying a nap and fishing together as plans for the future are balanced with successes of the past.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi,
I like this dad encouraging his son to dream about love. He says dreams can come true sometimes. There is a time for dreaming and a time for work.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck with the prompt.
Have a great day.

Well done. Not an easy task to pull off a scene with a closing in this many words. I'll may have to give it a go. I appreciate the inspiration!
Cheers!

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I love the charm of this dialogue. You do a wonderful job of capturing a tender moment between Pa and Joey. Pa's comment about getting lucky twice adds a surprising but personal touch. For me it highlights the close bond between father and son.

Comment from Joanne Gill-Maddick
This is a nicely written story. It's hard to come up with a story with just 75 words. Well done. I like this. "But a boy's gotta dream. I got lucky twice. First your ma . . . then you." Good luck in the contest.

I grew up in the country. Day dreaming or staring up at the stars at night wishing upon wish for so many things. It was a peaceful life...sometimes too peaceful....but when those dream came true, nothing compared.
