That's Not Cricket!
This is National Flash Fiction Day's eleventh anniversary, so this
year, all our prompts have something to do with the number 11....
*
The word 'eleven' can refer to a cricket team...but what if the cricket team was made up of actual crickets?
For this prompt, pick a phrase, expression, or idiom and interpret it literally. If it's raining cats and dogs, let's see the fur fly. If you're stealing someone's thunder, maybe the victim is Thor. If it's the last straw, then show us what happened after all the vegetation apocalypse. Feel free to play with magical realism, fable or down-and-out silliness, whatever you fancy!
