Oh my, Friday Fictioneers not on a Wednesday but a Tuesday, has the world gone mad….. No matter the day 100 + eager participants stumble to create little snippets of flash, 100 words (give or take) hosted by the creative talents of Rochelle Wissof-Fields. Get yourselves over, it’s addictive.
In the clearing, the other girls danced up a storm. Jenny sat and watched, her hands lying nervously across her thighs. They were already dripping sweat and a visible stain appeared on her skirt. She bit her lip, knowing the others would say she’d peed her pants again.
Then she remembered granny’s spell and slowly whispered “Big girls don’t cry, they get even”
Jenny fastened her cardigan, wiped the moss off her skirt and walked away smirking. She looked back over her shoulder at the newly grown barks all twisted and warped, “Sometimes being ‘stick’ thin isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, girls.”
OK, I’m already singing the song and haven’t even read the story. Be right back……(time passes.) Wow, that went way beyond the song. Carrie of the Forest, I think.

I know what you mean, I wrote the line and was immediately in ‘Dirty Dancing’ lol. 🙂
“Dirty Dancing?” I’m going way back to this:
Oldies but goodies, like me. 🙂
Oh my, don’t want to make her angry. 🙂
Never cross a big girl, I know – I am one 😉
I’m a sucker for a revenge story, and this was a revenge story. Well done.
Wow, she really is a little Carrie 😉
Ha! Don’t want to mess with the quiet ones, eh? Great piece! 🙂
Great imagination here. Very nice.
fantastic tale of revenge. 🙂
Hahaha! YES! I loved it! Got ’em right where it hurts. Thanks, Helen!
Perfect Helen. It doesn’t get any better. 😀
Never cross a girl like that.. I can just say that maybe it was taking revenge a little bit too far.
Don’t mess with the closet witch. Great story!
Dear Helen, YOU ARE BRILLIANT! What a story teller you are and it was delightful revenge (one of my favorites) that won the day. Absolutely perfect! Nan 🙂
Good story Helen, but she is a bit of a nasty character. I still enjoyed your story though.
Yikes. Talk about mean girls.
Ouch, not a nice girl to mess with. It’s seems a bit of an over reaction, since the other girls didn’t do anything, although I take it they have been mean to her in the past. This is good writing.
Dear Helen,
A thousand pardons for scheduling the wrong date. I was as shocked as anyone. 😮
At any rate you were obviously up to the task. Great little bit of revenge. Stick thin. Love that.
Shalom,
Rochelle
This girl wouldn’t by any chance be related to Carrie would she? Good story. Well done.
Magic– Ooh, a tricky tale indeed! Well done on short notice and 100 words, Helen!
Love this tale of revenge.

Carrie in the forest, sort of. Good revenge tale.
And the moral of the tale? Never get on the bad side of a girl who can transmogrify!
Stay clear. She deserved her revenge.
Extreme revenge – did they know she was the granddaughter of a witch?
Great story, sounds like the girls got what they deserved.
Ah, so you’re the one who turned my people into trees!
I think I’ll be extra nice to her should I ever met this girl. Oh my. Great story. Girls can be so mean, too.
