Third date blues

Think you can write a 55 word story? Then visit   


Waiting‘Thanks, black, no sugar’. Once the  kitchen door shut, Joe stripped and placed the hidden camera on the shelf. The voyeur tapes sold well. Kate was hot but tonight was business not love. Sitting down, he hesitated, wasn’t it?

Pouring the coffee over the tranquilliser, Kate thought great body, his liver alone should yield 5k.

Random Word: Caffeine

Note this has become the seed of a much longer story called Warm heart,cold hand

  5. Too good. I love your ending.

    If fetish is the external hold and obsession is the internal hold, then they are merely opposite ends of the same rope.

  8. Holy Toledo, John! This was bizarre and outstanding! Where did you find that photograph? Your mind is a place I wouldn't enter alone.
    I also loved your quote on steveroni's blog about the present state of man. Lovely.

  11. Maybe it's a good thing my Handpresso exploded- after this post I'd be swearin' off the coffee altogether if it weren't for the fact I'm addicted. Well done!

Welcome and thanks for dropping in. I'll pop by yours by and by.

This blog was inspired by First 50 words where you freewrite from a single word prompt. I use random words or images to create flash fiction in formats ranging from twitter postcards to short short stories.
