Five Sentence Fiction #4 – ORANGE
What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week the hostess will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.
The six-month-long search reached its finale.
Ten candidates strutted their stuff, with styles that ranged from downright ridiculous to over-the-top.
A little-known, pixie-faced girl, sported a riotous bulk of waist-length wild hair, interlaced with frizzy orange curls, like aloes in desperate need of attention.
Au naturelle.
Unknowingly, a trendsetter-in-the-making, blazing a new trail, leading the way on an unknown journey, taking the fledgling company to greater heights…
Now I want to know what they are competing for !
The brand new face of a cosmetics company…
Oh, I wish I knew what the other 9 looked like. (:
The others were too mainstream… typical runway model type hair/style/appearance… and too "fabricated"…
"… like aloes in desperate need of attention." Now there's an image I can relate to. 🙂
Are you referring to your hair? If so, your photo shows gorgeous auburn? tresses… nothing like the "desperate" aloes in my piece… LOL
A trend-setter in the making…sounds like a very interesting character!
Somebody who is, as yet, unaware of her full potential… mmm… does make for quite an interesting character…
You continue to be my hero…loved this!!
Donna, you are too kind! Thank you for the 5-star comment! ***** You have put a huge smile on my dial!!
I loved this, you managed to convey so much, in so little time. Absolutely wonderful!
Well done!
Thank you Chessny. I also enjoyed your original take on the prompt!
Thought-provoking. It is usually something outside of the mainstream that becomes the next big thing. You've conveyed that with your 6 sentences.
You are so right. It's something different that captures the attention… a fresh, new look…
Oh how I love an original-the one who marches confidently to a beat no one else hears!
Absolutely! You've hit the nail on the head! Thanks for the visit, Britton.
The photo is amazing!
Thanks Susan. The aloes are beautiful… in a 'rough-and-tumble' sort of way… 🙂
excellent descriptions! i love the riotous bulk of wave length hair! awesome words!
Thanks Tara! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I fell in love with this orange-haired little girl. I wonder…did she audition and beat out the other 9 to appear in a TV commercial campaign for a new Clairol hair color or perhaps the role of "Annie" in the new Broadway show? Btw, thank you for visiting and commenting on mine.
You're spot on… my original thought was a new range of eco-friendly hair products, although I changed my mind a million times thereafter… thanks for the visit!
Oooh, I'm dying to read more this one. Well done!
Thanks for the visit, Mina!
Really likeable characterisation here. Enjoyed this.
Thanks for the support Sandra! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love love love the descriptors!! Pixie-faced, wild hair, frizzy orange curls. I can see her clear as day!! Wonderful! 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful comment Ms. Bullish! 🙂
Really enjoyed the images in this piece! Nice job!! And, I have always secretly wanted to have a head full of red hair 🙂
Thank you Lillie! Over the years, I have coloured my hair in different shades of auburns… that's the closest I've come to reds… 🙂
nice imagery there, though it makes me wonder about the other contestants!

I didn't really think beyond the orange-haired girl… 🙂
I liked the imagination and the description…it sounded an exciting prospect.
Thanks Rek. Glad you found some time to visit. I know you've been very busy… 🙂
