When he stroked her shoulder softly she felt it all the way in her toes. And she knew she would end up marrying him. Because she had no legs. Sorry to be a literalist twit, but how does she have toes if she has no legs?

Well, when she does not have legs, but she can still feel it in her toes; clearly implies that she can feel the impossible, the magic in his stroke made her feel something which does not even exist… i mean she can feel it !!.. it’s getting difficult for me to explain now… but yeah.. I have both my feet but I can still feel the lines

I’ve gotten addicted to these twisters and have started writing some myself (http://twitter.com/Brevity24) I’m following a slew of “microfiction” authors including @twae (“Allusions peeked from behind trees. Farce and free verse shyly held hands. Rhyme and Rhythm danced. It was poetry in motion.”), @microprose (“A beach ball bobbed solemnly in Elliott Bay, its colorful curves touching the waves tangentially. Cat felt equally misplaced on the yacht.”), and @nanoisms (“silence, like darkness, can be kind; it, too, is a language.”).

My favorite so far that I’ve written is this one: “Cheapskate’s watery pretense for buying plastic plants: ‘We’re going green.’”

Much thanks for this post. On the question of the toes: well, yes, you are being too literal. The love she feels is so deep that she even feels it in the parts of the body she doesn't have. That's all I meant. I rarely "explain" anything but I thought I would intervene here. Thanks for reading everyone.

oh... that's very thought oprovoking man. it makes me want to stroke my horn in pleasure with my giant proboscis.
