Charlie was very superstitious.
No new shoes on the table or broken mirrors for him.
The thought of putting an umbrella up in the house
or not greeting a magpie horrified him.
Hence his dismay when a black cat ran across his path
as he made his getaway from the bank job he'd just pulled.
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.

great twist
As ever - a twist in the tail! Hmmmm now I must have a think!
Oh Oh I don't like where this is headed. lol
I have succumbed! (sp????)
:-)
oooer!
I thought black cats were lucky?
Another brilliant gem. Love the twist at the end.
Love your new theme my friend. It's real nice. And your story is just wonderful. :) Makes me think of the Stevie Wonder song Superstition :) So clever. :)
Good one!
uh oh, he's toast! ha ha ha

I think it is good luck to own a black cat since we have one. Ha!
I enjoyed the twist at the end and in only 55 words. You are talented.
Won't be any black cats in prison!
BRAVA, Akelamalu!
You are soooooooooooo fabulous with these!
That ending was BRILLIANT!
Applause, applause, applause!
Have a great weekend, m'dear!

Nice one. He could do with a little bad luck, I think.
Keep driving Charlie....

Excellent 55 My Talented Friend.

cute and fun!
Oh dear, I wonder what sort of bad luck befell the guy? Excellent twist as always!
Great twist at the end!
You do it every time!!! I love your 55's the best ;)
Greeting a magpie? That's one I've never heard of. I wonder if I should start saying hello to the blackbirds.
Oh that's clever! What a great idea. Of course - if you had another 55 words you could discuss that in some parts of the UK the luck depends on which way the cat was going! (left to right is good - right to left is bad....)
Keep up the good work
Thanks Scots Lass
