More back at the throat... you know like in the castle of Aaaaaaarrrgh. Sorry couldn't resist. (Monty Python fan here). But thank you, kind lady, I shall take the compliment and go blush over there.
Of course, it is agreed by all great minds far and wide that "Life of Brian" is the best film ever made in the history of the omniverse, except maybe one other, or two, or on second thought, maybe there are others, be it as it may, in a manner of speaking, if we were to pass a resolution to establish this film as the de facto Gold Standard, then by all means... where was I?
All I could think about, however, was that a thimble is definitely like a lidless box, but it's more like a tiny trash can. You know those 1950's office trash cans where writers throw crumpled pieces of paper with their discarded ideas.
I hope my description of thimble-as-trashcan doesn't ruin the piece for anyone else. I loved the small thimble and the thin house.
Glad I found this. I don’t know how I like my flash fiction but this one certainly fits. I think I saw the thimble passing by, way up there, this morning.

Hahahahah. It's been a while I didn't watch Monty Python stuff. Life of Brian's my favorite lol!

How wonderful! Thanks so much for stopping by and reading!
🙌
Absolutely delightful. So much life and character in this. I grinned through it at the dialogue and some of the repetition.
"cluttered with photos of cosmic disturbances..." What a line.
Also got some Murakami vibes in there, the kind of magical realism that seeps through.
Bravo, Pat. Bravo.
Thank you so much, Nathan, for such a lovely comment and for reading!
Love Murakami
Utterly sweet and adorable, I LOVE THIS! Thanks for sharing, Nadia!

Thanks so much, Priya!
Beautiful. I keep loving the thinness of home in all its incarnations!
Amazing, right?! Thank you Jennifer!
Yes! The weaving of the word "thin" throughout the piece was gorgeous. Such a simple word, yet she made it incredibly evocative.
Thank you so much.
