My 55 Flash Fiction Entry

This is something that Logo and The Barefoot Mistress have turned me onto. This is where you write a fictional story with 55 words, no more and no less. Of course I, being an aspiring fiction writer, will throw my hat into the ring. I don't write "nice", so hang on.


Pools of blood collected in the folds of the tarp.

Devin:"This wasn't necessary, you know?"

Jean:"His head is...busted open."

Devin:"Hey, we can't go back to yesterday. Grab the corners."

Jean: "Oh, dear God. The wedding band...moving...it's slipping off."

Hey, Bored at Home! Welcome to the blog. Thanks for the compliment, too. There is so much here that you'll find interesting, I hope, so look around.

Yes, I am planning to write "for reals", and hope that I can provide many people with great stories to enjoy.

Check out the blog on my sidebar "Dog's Life". That's my blogmate Logo's site. If she's around, she'll get you sorted.

Grunt, I lose track of who reads whose blog. Do you follow bookfraud.blogspot.com?

The Grunt said...

I don't, but I notice that Bookfraud frequents your blog. So, I'll have to check it out. Any reason that you ask?

Why yes, yes, you definitely write dirty.

(Pushes up nerd glasses) It's actually 44 words and I was wondering if anybody would really try to count the words and bust me. I figure if it can be done in 55, I can do it with 11 less words. The real story was that I was super tired and didn't care, so long as I was under the limit.


Thomas, you may have been bluffing, but at least you were the first to question my authority. You can move up to first chair clarinet now.
