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.

Cute! I love how you used so many of the common apple sayings.
I enjoyed using them 🙂
Clever! I like the idea of a little apple wondering what it will be in life!
Thanks. It never dreamt it would become so big. Most of us don’t dream of that, either. Perhaps we should….
Lovely! I like a story to have a happy ending, and this has got one.
Me, too. 🙂
An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Oh yes! I forgot that one.
I love how you used the prompt to create a little apple poem, or is it an applet?
Haha 🙂
Clever. I enjoyed this….
🙂
ooh I’d forgotten how many sayings there are that use the word apple! And your image and wishes for a sweet year are making me feel like eating baked apple with honey now… With apologies to the apple 😉
Bon appetit!
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!
Thank you!
I like how you gave meaning to that apple falling into the ground. 🙂
Glad you like it 🙂
