Charli’s Carrot Ranch 99-word Fiction Challenge
July 11, 2019, prompt: “My kingdom for a koala!” In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about a koala in a kingdom. You can create a character out of Norah’s koala and give it a Vermont adventure. Or you can make up a story however you want! Can you pull off a BOTS (based on a true story)? Go where the prompt leads!
Koala’s Kingdom
A parcel had arrived, covered with Australian postmarks.
‘Oh, how thoughtful,’ Ritu smiled at the generosity of her cousins.
The baby was only a few weeks old, and a package rammed full of gifts for her and her son had been sent to her.
Books, clothes, little fur boots, and a tiny koala for baby to snuggle with.
Soon his cot became crowded with soft toys, so Ritu had to move them.
A small hammock was constructed where the myriad toys sat, with Koala right at the front.
He was totally happy, high up, able to survey his kingdom.
Based on a true story. When Lil Man was born, we did indeed receive a little stuffed Koala toy!
But I Smile Anyway...

That’s a very cute story, Ritu. I wondered if it was a BOTS. 🙂

Love this, Ritu! How cool to send a Koala, from Australia, for Lil Man. Good thing they didn’t send you the real deal! ❤
