Friday 55 Flash Fiction

‘I’ll put the rubbish out,’ he said. ‘I’ll just be a minute’ and with that he disappeared for half an hour. When he came downstairs again he headed for the front door.

 I said nothing, just waited. He returned, looking rather sheepish. ‘I see you’ve already done it.’

Friday 55 Flash Fiction Smiles

It was a beautiful morning so she decided to walk. Everyone seemed happy. She noticed many people, particularly men, turning to smile as they passed. When she reached her work her friend pulled her to one side and whispered something. Her smile faded. She had walked to work with her skirt tucked into her knickers.

Friday 55 Flash Fiction

Dull roaring invaded her dreams. Her handsome swain became a bully. She jerked awake, listening in the dark as the clanking approached. She didn't believe in ghosts.

'Lovely,' said the workman as he took the mug.

'One sugar, wasn't it?' she smiled.

He nodded, sipped, spluttered and put the mug down.

'Must get on,' he muttered.

Back in the kitchen she saw the salt and knew what she'd done.

She made an appointment with the optician immediately.

Advice for nouveau riche . . .

Don’t wear diamonds in daylight -
It’s frightfully common you know,
Don’t wear diamonds in daylight –
It’s far too obvious a show.

Keep your diamonds for evening –
That’s when they sparkle the best!
A diamond ring on your finger
Suffices for daytime dress.
