After only a few minutes
all the trees began to
look very much alike.
He knew he must be lost.
The minutes turned to hours.
Light to dark.
His thoughts turned to loved ones.
How would they find him?
Fetal?
Skeletal?
Suddenly, a voice called to him –
“Hey, buddy, pick a Christmas tree. We’re closing.”

Oh how funny! Reminds me of the times I spent hours at the tree farm with the kids... whew! Great 55!
This 55 was a blast. Loved it. It reminds me of how easy it is to make a mountain out of a molehill or in this case, a tree farm into a gigantic forest.

Oh, my, what a wonderfully funny 55. Tree searching is very serious business.

You are so sly, Monkey Man!!! Totally suckered me. Come enjoy my cookies on my blog today.
Great 55! I've been using a fake tree for some of the reasons listed in your 55.

You humans get lost so easy. Great 55
This is how I feel every time I visit the mall.
Without the trees, of course. :)
Very creative! I did not see it coming!
Ha! didn't see that coming. You sneak.
This is the laughter that heals, sustains and energizes keep it coming!
I don't know if I can sweat out another Sunday 160, I recounted so many times, in the car, on the toilet, in the dark, in front of my kids.
Exhausted, but perhaps worth the exercise to my aging grey matter.....
Hours can pass without anyone finding The Tree. I hate the experience; and I love it too.
Funny 55. You are a wit!I appreciate your sense of humor, it's rather twisted. ;) jeNN
Ok, this is AWESOME, Monkey!
All - I, too, have a fake tree but real memories.
Dianne - Put the document into Word. Go to Tools and under Word Count it will tell you the number of characters WITH spaces. - let the machine count....I do.
I am finally getting caught up here...better late than never! Totally enjoyed the happy ending! I read about a couple who went missing looking for a tree on their own. It had a happy ending too! Have a great weekend!
Now, that's what i call professional writers working overtime!

Damn you, I was really starting to worry.
