Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 171 Burglary..



Finding the open window they took advantage.


The men climbed through in search of valuables.


Peering through the bedroom doorway they saw the occupier.


He lay, eyes staring vacantly, unblinking, unmoving.


"Christ, he's dead!" said one.


"Oh well, he won't miss this lot now will he?" said his mate, as he searched the bedroom cupboards.



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.

Thanks Ron

It is a dark one BankerChick and I'm not sure he's pretending.

They're not worried about anything except getting something to sell Cheshire Wife :(

Searching for anything they can sell, probably to buy drugs G. I notice you came back twice hon, thanks. x

Tis a cold world we live in at times. In my head, I saw the person in the room sit up and whisper, "Boo!" ;)

Did you see my Malaysian prison video showing a grown man getting spanked on the bare arse 20 times with a broom handle sized cane? That's what I think they ought to do to housebreakers it's the most disgusting crime and I caused great offence in a crackhouse once by glowering at someone who came in bosting about a "drum" as the scum who do it call it. I really hate burglars. BTW I had to take the video down it was so gross. Blood everywhere and the criminal trying not to scream. I thought seeing a grown man get a punishment associated with school would be funny but it really was not funny. Which is why I think they should do it to housebreakers ha ha ha.

Jannie Funster said...

Okay -- this totally sounds like a scene our a movie like "Waking Ned Devine!!!!"

Ah, so funny my dear Alekamalu, you are.

here is my 55.

Jannie Funster said...

gautami tripathy said...

Much to think about...

Akelamalu said...

Yes I remember seeing that video on your blog Gleds. I think the punishment for this sort of crime should be more severe than it is but I'm not sure I would recommend that.

Hey don't worry about the typos Jannie, glad you liked my 55.

Indeed Gautami
