Visit Mr.Knowitall to post your own Friday Flash 55 word story or poem!
The stench of heaving men hung heavy. Serious metal weights crunched. Ray, looked around, he was the only white guy in the gym.
‘We’re having breakfast here? But you said, “Come and eat at Dairy Queens?” ’
Otis, now down to a black leather pouch, said. ‘Nope, I said, “Come and meet other Dairy Queens”.’
Random Word: Permeate
Footnote: If you went eh? Dairy Queens are fast-food restaurants in the US South. It’s also American gay slang . Apologies to Americans for my southern accents!
