It has been a very long time since I’ve written for Friday Fictioneers. After a three-year hiatus I find I miss the challenge and the fun of it. The rust and dust on my writing faculties will only be removed with use. So you will forgive my meager attempts as I begin again.

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE:

Write a complete story, beginning, middle and end, in 100 words or less.
Take time to proofread and edit.
Make every word count.
Include the photo prompt and Linkz on your page and link your story URL.
Read and comment. Reciprocation is half the fun!

It’s not what you look at that matters it’s what you see. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Needs Must

When science brought back the dinosaur they said it was miraculous. When their novelty became very successful they panicked. The carnivores quickly consumed the masses while herbivores worked on the plant life. Eventually predator and prey leveled out leaving what was left of human life to fend for themselves.

During the day Nessa’s family stayed hidden with others in the library building. At night the elders tended the fire to keep predators at bay. However, fuel for fire was quickly being consumed.

“The Ingalls family burned cow chips.” Nessa offered.

“No cows!” the elders chastised.

“Plenty of herbivores.” she countered.
