The child was creating a ruckus as was his favorite thing to do in the afternoon.
It was only when she heard footsteps on the roof, she decided to check for monkeys but found the empty kitchen.
Everything within his reach was in its place but the hanging pots were another story.
He had managed to jump on the roof, now giggling and running free.
“Young man, If you refuse to come down right now, you are not getting any dinner” Mary yelled as she looked up at the window.
“Your powers should have slept for another ten years”, she muttered as she called his guardian to come handle this complication.

His powers came as a surprise 🙂
That “child” is up to a lot of monkey business! Entertaining SSS.
Cool six!
man! this has been a very ‘fantastical’ week in Sixville
Very entertaining and engaging story here… ah, (I couldn’t get hold of the word I wanted)… very nicely whimsical.
Good Six.
The urge to explore the powers cannot stop anyone, let alone a child. Nice six.
Children really surprise us and test our patience.
I agree with Pat and Clark. Cheeky child, fantastical story.
Kids will be kids – and little monkeys!
Here’s my story.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said … Fantastic Six!
This was a unique take. This special child is definitely going to give his folks a difficult time ahead.
Dear Prat,
Sounds like an unusual boy. Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Delightful Six! Children without powers are a handful and a half never mind one with powers lol
What a difference a decade might have made 😀
What an intriguing Six… the potential of the setup, the left-to-the-Reader’s-imagination element!
very cool
Kids will be kids. Nice take.
You’ve packed a punch in just six lines! Nicely done!
This was really an interesting read 🙂 People who write fiction so well are my favorites forever. Subscribing to your blog 🙂

Nice story. A kid is growing up too fast for his age and creating problem for his mother. Even threat of no dinner cannot tame him.
Children can be quite complicated.
That six is out of the ground.
So well written and this child is definitely a role model. Too good.
Wow amazingly written. I can’t even think to cover such a powerful story in just 6 lines. Great it is!
This seems like the beginning of a new X-Men story. Really cool story. Keep it up.
That was quite a story in just six lines. You stretched your creativity just about right!
Your blog is a find. Enjoyed reading it. I am always in awe of fiction writers. Particularly those who can tell a story in just six sentences.
I was expecting a monkey, but the child turned out to be a superhero! #MyFriendAlexa #ShubhraReads
Super story in 6 lines. Amazing it had a beginning and an end. Kudos lady.
Awesome six! Thanks for sharing this. #MyFriendAlexa #CloudandSunshineReads
Well..!! may be he is a superhero.. Just the right eye to see him was needed
Kids and their monkey business! Kids imitate everyone around them as monkeys do and they are compared to them. But then if kids aren’t monkeying around then who will.Good one there. #wordsmithkaurreads #BlogChatter #MyFriendAlexa
Very creative. Well written.
Maybe it is actually a monkey and Mary is just imaginative in her speech…just a crazy afterthought for the super six!!
I just read this peqse and I went back to see all your posts
This is the magic of writing
Lovely
Unique take, Pratibha. Enjoyed the story.
Yeah, when kids start walking too early they can be terrors, but when their superpowers develop early, watch out 😉
Moms are the only ones who could reign in superheroes!
Very naughty child indeed????
The twist was unexpected and interesting. Loved your story and will be back for more!
This reminds me of young Hanuman’s story, which I saw with daughter on some cartoon channel. Lovely way of telling a story.
Succinct, interesting and engaging
Short yet very entertaining story!!
wow story in 6 lines
I earlier thought it was a mouse, then thought monkey and then realized its a superhero in making. That’s a good imagination.
