Friday 55 Flash Fiction #161 The Climb....


"It's a long way up, he said, but we need water so we have no choice."


"I'll come with you" she said.


They had almost reached the top when he tripped, managing to drag her down and banging his head quite badly.


"Where's the vinegar and brown paper Jill?" said Jack, when they got home.




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.

Well done.
