Mary had a little lamb Its fleece was white as snow Its nose and ears and hooves were black Except for its front left toe The other ewes just lay in wait For their newborns to come Mary sighed with happiness As she was already a mum

Charli’s Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction Prompt:
April 8, 2021, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that “rethinks the hero.” Define the hero, comparing or contrasting to the classic definition. Break the mold. What happens to the hero in the cave? Is it epic or everyday? Is therre resistance or acceptance? Go where the prompt leads!
Pint-Sized Heroes
Four-year-old Nina watched her classmate’s plight curiously.
Joey had been struggling with that same jigsaw for the last ten minutes, and no guidance from his teachers was accepted.
Slowly, Nina sidled along until she was next to him. A pint-sized compadre, not as much of a threat as the adults who towered above.
She tentatively picked up the correct piece, turned it the right way, and handed it to Joey.
He popped it in, the tongue of determination that had been sticking out slipped back in, turning into a smile.
I think Joey just found his new jigsaw hero.
