The weather was sweltering.
104 degrees and rising.
People were looking at him, but then he was the only one not wearing shorts.
The sweat poured off him but he didn't have a choice.
He had to keep his legs covered or they would know his secret, they'd spot
the electronic tag on his ankle.
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 off on another little jaunt today so I will catch up with you all over the weekend - have a good one!

I made the switch to shorts this week- hot weather!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to look twice at anyone wearing jeans on a shorts day...
ReplyDeleteOh no, the poor thing!

ReplyDeletethis is cute, i love the twist at the end
ReplyDeleteHi! Came over from G-Man's site and realized I haven't been able to make it to everyone's 55 as I'm new to this. {I blame it all on Susan!}
ReplyDeleteThat was fun! And how in the world did you take the sun from outside my window and place it on your blog? :0
I'll be back. And I'm trying ever so hard not to fall prey to the other word game...I have laundry to do, I can't stay on here all day. ;)
Hope you have/had a great time away.
Brilliant 55! It was not at all what I suspected. Nice to meet you and thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That would totally suck!
ReplyDeleteLove the music on your page as well!
Yep, best for him to keep that covered - and sweating.

And hopefully he's not up to anything sinister!
ReplyDeleteI can't take the heat, I'd put on my shorts and let 'em talk!
ReplyDeleteAnd here I hide my legs in the sweltering Arizona heat to hide a silly tattoo.
ReplyDeleteYou know someone who has been tagged Lou?
