“When it came to a challenge Jim Smiley had to jump right in”.
Marg smiled when these words popped into her mind, she was on a dull flight to meet up with the team in Paris, France. Bored on the aeroplane, Marg was reading a collection of short stories, by Mark Twain. ‘The French eat Frogs legs, don’t they?’, smiling to herself. Marg took everything with a pinch of salt, especially food for thought.
The threat of an attack by the lab rat Dickus was imminent and very real. The Brigadier and the two teams of operatives were meeting in the city to flush the sinister Dickus and his henchmen out of their hideout before they struck. They intended to attack Dr Dickus at his casino, oddly named the “Jumping Frog”, situated on the banks of the river Seine.
Marg was met by Bella at the Charles de Gaulle airport and picked up the rest of the team. Then came a shock, Angelo……..

ooh, I love stories with a good cliff hanger
Thanks Kate ~ This is the thirteenth cliff hanger in the series ~ I’m happy you’re having fun ~ 🙂
Think I’d like to get to part 1 first. Do you have a page set up for the links?
Or can you put a link in for part 1 so we can start at the beginning?
Thanks for stopping by. The vocabulary came from the MLM prompt. They post a prompt every day. Cheers, Jules
Hi Jules
All the parts are on my blog under Marg Mysterious Island. Thanks for the great response~ Enjoy!! 🙂
Ah… thanks.
Well I went sort of by the back door… but I’m all caught up now. Looking forward to the next. I have a bunch of continuing stories on my fiction site. Not that you have to read any or all. Just take a look at how I’ve set up the page…

Thanks for a fun read. I’m a fan of Bond. 😉
I look forward to exploring your episodic presentation Jules ~ Thanks for your great comment ~ 🙂
Those cliff hangers are doing the trick. Once again very well written, and the pace is great.
I am looking forward to what happens next!
Thanks Francesca ~ I’m glad you are enjoying this ~ Paris in the nearly Spring ~ 🙂
The lot continues to thicken John like a good frog stew…….
Needs plenty of slow cooking Michael ~ Much pondering without jumping in too fast~~ Thanks for your welcome response~ 🙂
What does Angelo do? I guess I will just have to wait for the next installment! Thanks John for participating! I am glad that you are sticking with this challenge. Each week I find myself anticipating what will happen next with Marg and the team! Love it, and see you next week! Be well… ^..^
I am enjoying responding to the great variety of interesting prompts you provide Babs~ This is a great challenge and above all a lot of fun ~ You have attracted some very good writers here~ Thank you 🙂
Thank you John! I am glad that you are having fun with this! 🙂
LOL! You are writing a mini-series. Haha! Can’t wait for the next part. 🙂
Thanks Joy ~ I have put them all together on another web site we have and they blend together very nicely ~ Thanks for your very welcome response.
I love the way you bring in the frogimage, John. That was clever.Then the mention of Angelo right at the end leaves us with another great cliffhanger. You’ll soon have a book about the intrepid Marg’s exploits . . . I wonder what will happen next? 🙂
Ooh, ooh, Angelo what? I guess we have to wait until next time… 🙂
Surely Dickus isn’t going to escape again?
I suspect there is a sensational twist in the offing Ali ~ Watch this space, Dickus is definately a wriggly character on past form ~ Thanks for your great response 🙂
Many thanks Millie ~ The weaving of Bab’s interesting prompts into the flow of the story is a great form of writing practise. I think I will thread them all together into a novella eventually. ~ 🙂
