Isaac was desperate, he had bills.
He'd sold most of his possessions, only his father's gold watch remained.
The antique dealer offered him £3000, it was a rare piece.
"No", he couldn't part with it.
They never found Isaac's killer.
Why would anyone want to hurt a defenceless old man with no money people asked.
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.
Good one! Got me again.
