Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 49 Quick Draw......

Quick Draw

Carlos picked up his gun.


This time he was ready for Marco.


Marco had got the better of him to often.


They faced each other and drew their guns, seemingly at the same time.


Carlos's shot hit Marco clean between the eyes,




before Marco even had time to pull the trigger

of his water pistol.



Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

I won't be doing a 55 next week as I'll be in Poland on a mini break.

Have a great mini-excursion. My sister-in-law is from Poland - I'd better not tell her you're going or she'll get homesick.

I don't know what a Piorgi is G-man, but if you say I should have some I will! ;)

Oh Buff I don't think I've got room in my suitcase for the water pistol! ;)

I'm banking on having a good time Sally! :0

I wish I'd known about your sister in law being from Poland earlier Jula, she could have given me some tips on what to see and where to go!

Carlos had better watch his Sandi!

Just when I was thinking you’d gotten a little too violent for me, you dropped the surprise. I should have known ;--)
