Friday 55 Flash Fiction #3 In Public

In public



He carefully applied the thick makeup that would hide his shadowed chin.





Eyeshadow, Mascara and Lipstick completing the look.




The dress fitted like a glove, the wig hung sleekly across his shoulders.




At last he was ready to make his first public appearance



“It’s behind you” shouted the children “Oh no it isn’t” he replied.
