Fieda and the Red Turtle (a Work Of Flash Fiction)


There once existed a little red turtle. This red turtle ran around with a strange crowd of avant-guard bohemian amphibians (they accepted him even though he wasn't a frog). One day he decided that he ought to move to Prague. So he did. He found himself a little out of place because all of the avant-guard animals in Prague were mammals. However, with time he met a beautiful lemur named Frieda. She had an extensive collection of pretentious looking hats, but that was only one of the more superficial reasons for the turtle's affection for Frieda. They would stay out late into the night speaking of Kafka, Bartok and the individual. Eventually Frieda and the turtle grew old. Frieda died but the turtle lived on, because turtles live a copiously long time. The end.
