Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 79 Trust Me



She was terrified as he inserted the needle into her arm.





He'd promised her it wouldn't hurt and she would feel great.


She drifted off, feeling pleasantly happy, light and relaxed.



Later, coming back to full consciousness, she was glad she'd trusted him........

The mirror told her the liposuction had worked - her saddlebags had disappeared.





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.

I'm out tonight folks and out all day tomorrow so won't have time to visit, but I promise I will catch up on Sunday.  Have a great weekend.

    Nicely done. Strangely, I've done the other side of the subject this week.

    How awful - while she was having cosmetic surgery someone stole her saddlebags! Still, if she'd cycled more often she wouldn't have needed the liposuction...

    Hmmm, I don't know about this, does the fat come back? My 55 is about looks too, kinda.

    Oooooooooooooh, Given the chance, I would shamelessly have a bit of that done on my belly, in less than a heartbeat!

    Needles in people make us dragons nervous. I wonder if they would be so quick if they knew the Doctor had us dagons suck out the fat. And it is tasty. Good 55

    Ours is ready to read

    Not sure I would be so trusting. I've heard some horror stories.

    Shouldn't we be happy with who we are inside?

    Sigh.....

    (I like to really work on making myself believe all that stuff - and I am really happy with who I am inside. Finally)

    Liposuction always makes me think of the movie Fight Club (the guys steal the liposuctioned fat to make soap).

    They'll be back G-man! ;)

    Glad you liked it Dr.John :)

    Me too Cheshire Wife!

    Thanks Daryl xx

    If only it were that easy and painless Snowelf :0

    I think probably the fat does come back Eaton so it's a waste of time and money really isn't it? :(

    I'm not brave enough either Donnetta!

    You're very kind Ron Mwaah x

    You're brave Shrinky! :0

    Oooh Fandango, you suck out the fat? LOL
