The challenge: 104 words including:
… as the apple fell …..
It’s time to return to the challenge and a timely prompt, as apple and honey symbolises hopes for a sweet year, which is what I hope for all my readers.
Sweet Dreams
As the apple fell from the tree, it wondered what would happen next.
Would it fall far from the tree?
Would it join other apples in apple-pie order or make up an apple-pie bed?
Would it be compared to oranges?
Would it be the apple of someone’s eye?
Would it upset the apple cart?
Would it become a bad apple?
Then it hit the ground. That was the last it knew. Just as well. A little boy found it and ate it all up. And that was the end of the apple.
Except for the core, from which grew a beautiful apple tree.

Thanks. It never dreamt it would become so big. Most of us don’t dream of that, either. Perhaps we should….

That’s wonderful! I love how you give all the apple’s thoughts as it drifts toward the ground, then take all those possibilities away, and finally give it the best possible happy ending for an apple!
