Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 109 Happy Holiday..



Patsy was so looking forward to the holiday her friends had arranged.




She'd never been on a plane, or been abroad, before.




"It'll be great, you'll love it", her friends told her.




Patsy bought bikinis, sundresses, sunglasses, flip-flops and suncream.




Imagine her disappointment when she arrived and discovered what




"On the piste really meant!






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've often thought the anticipation aspect of a vacation can often be better than the reality. This proves it. ;-)

    Well now you'd think that if her friends were buying Patsy her very first trip abroad that they would have sent her someplace warm! Though there's a lot to be said for the snow ... as long as you're saying it from inside by a roaring fire with a drink in your hand!
