Shelly knew she was addicted.
She was doing it four times a week now.
She'd read and heard all the horror stories.
She'd never believed them but now the proof was visible.
The doctor had confirmed the damage it had caused.
She had to do it, give it up.
Had to stop...
the sunbed treatments.
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.

Blah sunbeds are icky but coming from Alaska I know a lot of people that use them. I knew one person that owned her own and used it ALL THE TIME. She was ORANGE. I love orange, but not as a skin color.
Great 55 ;-)
You have real talent, M'Dear!
So proud you are one of us Hawaiians ;-)
Aloha, Akelamalu!
I was thinking "going to the gym" but I knew you'd have a twist in there and you did!
Always such a great twister!!!
Cute twist... but what is wrong with looking like a catcher's mitt with eyeballs? I do!
I love your 55s, cos ya never know until the last line what it is... you are very clever :)

I noticed a trend this Friday. Many of us were a little naughty!
Needless to say, I LIKE IT!

oh I love this!!! I was thinking of addiction to drugs, duh, i love the ending though so many women do this and it is another addiction. good to raise the awareness of this. I really love it!!
Great ending. Those things can certainly be addictive.
OMG...this is brilliant!!
And let me tell you...
...I know this addiction very well. In fact, I'm a recovering sunbed treatment addict!!
I use to use one when I lived in Florida, in between going to the beach!!!
OY VEY!
Have a "sun-filled" weekend, dear lady!

Most things are addictive aren't they Eaton? ;)
I love this one. I used to go to a tanning place. I felt like I was cooking myself. I stopped. It was so hot and I read about all the jerms on it, it creeped me out.
It amazes me that they are still popular Connie with all the scare stories. :(
LOL you had me thinking something else as well. Sunbed treatements--ha!
i guess she wants to look like leather lol great 55, ake. :)
That's surely how she'll end up Ciara!
