Adventure #2 : Papoe And Mr. Cockroach

For this month’s The Adventure of Little Papoe, I am challenging myself to make it into a flash. His adventure is now less than 150 words. I am including this imaginary adventure of my little Papoe in Red’s Flash In The Pan 🙂

Next month Papoe will have a much longer story 🙂

**********************

One afternoon, Papoe, the little pink belly short necked turtle, meets a strange cockroach.

“What are you doing, sir?” asks Papoe.

“I am walking backward, can’t you see, child?” Answers Mr. Cockroach.

“I can see that…but why are you walking backward?”

“I found a newspaper yesterday and I saw a human male who became famous for walking backward. I always wanted to be famous and I thought that I can be the first cockroach in the world that walks backward,” he smiles proudly.

“Hmm…,” Papoe’s little brain starts working, “But…Mr. Cockroach, do you know any human journalist who will write about you in human’s newspaper? How can human and other cockroaches know about you if no one writes about you?”

Mr. Cockroach stops and looks at Papoe sourly, and then he walks away normally while murmuring “Spoil Sport!”
