Blurb needed for Flash Fiction, “
The Belly Button Collector." The story will be less than 1000 words.
Here’s what I have so far:
He’s just an average Joe, although his name is Fred.
An unassuming paper-clip maker by day, at night he likes to collect belly buttons from his unsuspecting donors.
While reading an article in Playboy at the beach, “Agency Participation in Reader-Response Theory: How the Tutti-Frutti Twins Can Double Your Flavor,” Fred observes a young woman rubbing suntan lotion on her belly button. Completely forgetting his article, he reaches an epiphany (or something similar) and decides to collect belly buttons when not making paper-clips.
“I did it?” he says doubtfully, as he observes 30 belly buttons hanging and swaying from the ceiling like a children's carosel.
I’m having trouble with this sentence:
“I did it?”
Here are my choices:
1) I did it?
2) It I did?
3) Did it I?
4) It did I?
5) I it did?
6) Did I it?
After you help me with the blurb, you can help me write it.
After all, you’re doing all the work! *
