Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 82 Hitchiker



Cathy sat at the side of the road, weary, praying someone would stop.

 
Gliding to a halt the driver beckoned her.



 
Chatting, flirting, he pulled off the road, killed the engine.


 
Cathy plunged the knife into his chest, then made her way back to the road...



 
stuffing his wallet into her rucksack with the others.


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.

Hi it's me again.

Are you sure there isn't a virus on this page? 3 times I've tried to comment again and been terminated!

I just wanted to add: are you a viwer of Big Brother? What do you think of Halfwit? If any views I posted a bit on him ... poor Halfwit! I think he's treated quite unfairly... idiot that he is!!!

Julia Phillips Smith said...

Whoa - what a picture... I guess that's how some people survive stab wounds and some people don't. Depends on where it lands.

Another pared-down beauty of an Akelamalu Twisty Tale.

Akelamalu said...

Thanks Skywind :)

She's BAD Thom, very BAD.

Quite Flowerpot!

I think she's just short of money Cheshire Wife ((wink))

Cheers Mike :)

They can be Snowelf ;)

No I haven't seen that film Buff, I'll look out for it.

She's the sort that wouldn't be out of place in one of your novels James!

I don't know if there's a virus Gleds, no-one else has said they're having problems. I don't watch Big Brother hon.

Aw thanks Bindi xx

I'm so pleased you enjoy them Daryl :)

Great story, Akalamalu! Happy 4th of July! :)

Dr.John said...

Now I quit helping ladies in distress. I love your surprise endings.

Linda said...

Ya know, you and Amanda sort of have the same twisted macabre sense of storytelling except she does hers via drawing while you do yours via stories that suck us in and then stab us when we least expect it!

Nicely done as always, m'dear!

Lou said...

He must have had it coming, the lecher!

Still, it was kinda harsh...;)

Connie T. said...

She was not nice.

Spiky Zora Jones said...

oh..you took me by surprise. OMG...who would have guessed a gal could be so the murderer that she was.

It gave me chills...

I think you have a novel here...your mind takes me places sweetie...and I want more. please. ;)

I love to read you babe. It's always a pleasure.
Ciao honey.

Akelamalu said...

LOL I know you like horror stuff Ron, thanks m'dear.

Yes and what's scary is it's happening more and more often Anthony :0

Unfortunately, yes they do Fandango :(

I thought you thought I was ignoring you G-man and I would hate you to think that honey. x

Wouldn't it be great Snowelf?


Indeed Cloudia! :)

Thanks Mary x

Very wise Dr. John and thankyou. x

I think Amanda would make a fine job of illustrating some of my 55s Linda! :)

She'd have stabbed him even if he'd been a perfect gentleman Lou. :0

No she wasn't Connie you're right.

She's just bad, bad, bad Spiky. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. :)

Eaton Bennett aka Berenice Albrecht said...

You have reminded me not to pull over on my way home from work at night, not for any reason...yikes my blood ran cold. Niiiiice 55! :)

Akelamalu said...

Definitely no pulling over when you're on your own Eaton!

Nessa said...

Wow, that Cathy is dangerous.

Akelamalu said...

Yikes indeed Trav :)

Cathy's not a nice person Nessa ;)

Maggie May said...

Horrific but all too common much is the pity!

I will miss Portrait of Words but will not be able to spare the time to do a weekly one & need more time to prepare it!
I guess I will find another slot for telling monthly stories sooner or later!

Suburbia said...

Wow! Powerful stuff.

How are you?

TBM said...

Yikes!! That Cathy just isn't very nice.

You have an amazing imagination, Akelamalu!

Akelamalu said...

It is a bit gory Secret Agent Woman :(

POW has changed to every two weeks Maggie but you only need to join in every four if that's what you want. :)

Thanks Suburbia, I'm good thanks honey. x

MWM is always saying he wonders what goes on in my head JAPRA ((WINK, WINK))
