The sky above me danced across the horizon in an array of hues like elegant dancers at a ballet. I inhale deeply as I walk to my car sitting silently, patiently. I take a moment to look at the church adjacent to the parking lot. I imagined ninjas climbing from every which way along the roof and steeple of the church. I wasn't sure as to what they wanted...but I was certain they were after me. They didn't look like they cared for a friendly chat. I tossed my purse and readied myself for battle. The first ninja came from above...I ducked and narrowly missed the second one. My waitressing skills paid off as I was a master of balance from serving drinks all day. My reflexes were lighting quick...so much so as to dodge a blow from yet another ninja. The battle grew fierce but I fought valiantly. That was until the sound of a distant horn awoke me from my thoughts. As I climbed into my car, I couldn't help but to grin as I glanced back at the steeple and thought I saw what looked to be a ninja staring back at me. 2008-03-19T19:41:58Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/24996 <p>love ninjas. i complimented this story on the how forum but it may have gotten buried. thanks for the heads-up on this awesome site, and keep up the good work.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/24996?basename=49969 2008-03-19T19:41:58Z duckn http://ficlets.com/authors/duckn <p>Sounds like something I would do!!!!</p> <p>I think you really captured the moment right there!</p> <p>LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/24996?basename=49667 2008-03-18T20:56:41Z OrangeOreos http://ficlets.com/authors/orangeoreos <p>Love it!
