the frog - a 100 word novel

Once Kirsty tried to work out how long she spent paused. Staring at something or concentrating on a job or decision that others might not even think of.

Mowing thick grass once she heard a cruch and stopped the mower to move the stone or stick. Instead she saw a frog its two front feet chopped off lying on its back in the stream bleeding gently. She stayed a long time trying to work out whether to kill it or not and how.

Moments when time pauses have no boundary she realised. She could not measure and add them up.

December this year is the second busiest month of 2008, and at 48 posts was more productive than any previous year except 2006.

Thanks. Although I wrote elsewhere that mainly I don't know where these are going this is one of about three where I did know the details beforehand.
