Friday 55 Flash Fiction #123 The Funeral.....




Tears streamed down Beth's face.


She was watching her husband's coffin slide silently through the curtains.


Family and friends patted her hand, assuring her things would be fine.


They didn't know that her tears were because


she was thinking of all the hurt and humiliation he'd caused her,


before she'd laced his food with arsenic.




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.
