Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 50 Proud..

Proud

Archie looked at his trophies lining the cabinet.


At 76 he was proud of his achievements.

A startled Archie looked around to see the man standing in his doorway.


"He must be after the trophies" thought Archie.


The blow rendered him unconscious.


"That'll teach you not to try to rob a Karate expert!" said Archie.



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.

Hula Babe,

Sorry it took me a bit to get to your 55!

It SO rocks, so I'm glad I finally made it over.

I dig a man with hands that are lethal weapons.

Go Archie!
