Friday 55 Flash Fiction #148 The Recipe



Gathering the necessary ingredients together


she was apprehensive about the mixing process.


She had the instructions but this was her first time.


She weighed out the necessary quantities, carefully following the recipe.


If it went wrong she wouldn't try again.


She wouldn't be able,


she'd be dead if the bomb exploded while she mixed it!


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.

Hahaha! Reminded me of Jon's comment about how the IRA mixed the ingrediants for their bombs - just after I asked him to sort out the "bangs" in the christmas crackers! lol!

Very interesting, I was thinking a Martha Stewart-like cooking story and it became a thriller. Excellent!

I don't think I'm the only one that can no longer receive 'follow-up comments' ... just thought I'd warn you in case you really want your responses to be seen. Since subscribing is currently useless the only way round it is to revisit a blogsite and check. Sometimes I hate Google!
