(Author’s note: Hey, folks! Hoping to be in the clear on things after next week. Spending time focused on my driver’s test. Praying I can pass it correctly. Here’s today’s fictioneers!)

She let go with all her skill.
Janie Palmieri watched as the disc flew off into the distance. The last hole of the regional disc golf competition, and she could only watch.
The disc continued to sail on the winds. Like a feather, it floated gently upon the light breeze.
As Janie ran down the hill towards the “hole”, the disc fluttered slightly.
The wind changed direction.
Janie could not look. Her eyes huddled into the crook of her elbow, not wanting to see the faltering.
*Clank*
Cheers erupted. Janie looked up.
The disk lay vertical in the “hole”.
Triumph!
We’ve just had the commonwealth games. I bet a few athletes felt like Jainie.
More than likely! Janie’s got a lot of heart!
Success! Hope you also have success with your driving test. I remember the ordeal of that :((
I should be fine. I’m older and most instructors don’t fail older folk, especially ones who have had years of driving practice.
Well done, Janie! That was a cracking little story. And good luck with your driving test.

Thanks! And yeah, Janie’s got good skills!
Hurray for Janie! Such a sense of achievement. Lovely tale
Gotta find encouragement where you can!
I like the way you inject a little tension with “the disc fluttered slightly. The wind changed direction.” Nice write, Miles. And good luck with the driving test!
It’s the small things… ^_-
Can you believe I didn’t know this sport existed until today? I know about frisbees, of course, but never realized there was an official game/competition. Learn something new every day.
I remember many of my high school mates would do this on the weekend or after school. Some of them got to pro-level. It was…surreal.
Ha so athletic! Live the fluttering
I love it too! ^_^
Well done that girl!
Quite! She did VERY well!
Well done Janie! Great story. Good luck with your driving test too.
Thanks! ^_^
Everyone deserves a break once in awhile. Glad you gave her one.
Can’t look but it’s all good in the end. I bet she wishes she’d watched now.
I love the element of the wind ~ I expected it to cause more harm than good. Thanks for proving me wrong!
Glad Janie made it! Good luck with your driving test.
Well done suspense, building towards the end.
Very descriptive, I could imagine her triumph! =)
