Kaiku,

This is creative retelling of the story of how Moses received and announced the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. I agree it is a new twist on the story deserving of a second place win in the 100 Word Story contest. "Pinky Promise." :-)

All the best,

Eugene

Hahaha! It always looked as if it would have a good punchline and delivered well. So seriously expressed in the beginning, your story evolved well within its word limitations and concluded with humour, complemented nicely by your visual. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Ciao!

Your prose is always engaging.

A Pinky promise is all about two swearing to keep a secret.

While the two pinkies are hooked there is a short saying to recite too.

The is a meaning behind this gesture : it's about the value of trust and fulfilling a commitment made.


God and Moses made a promise on mount Sinai. A promise that involve trust and commitment.

I recall doing one or two when I was a kid. I was under the impression that mostly kids and teens did them.

I googled .. the Japanese mafia make pinky promises too and those that fail to keep the promise made , their pinky is cut off. Yikes.

lol Pinky Promise means a lot to me personally. So I just nodded. "Of course. Now that makes sense." Very clever and cute story for the challenge. I hope this entry does well. Good image too.

Best wishes

Alex

    I hadn?t heard someone say ?Pinky Promise? for a very long time and then it happened. I just had to find out its origins. 😂 Thanks for the nice review.
