Facing each other the two men stared into each other's eyes.
Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
This is it, do or die, fears banished.
Launching themselves at each other, fists flailing, sweat and blood spattering.
A grudge match if ever there was one.
but legal because it takes place in a boxing ring - Sport!
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! I couldn't find inspiration this week at all.
Good one! I sorted mine out in a burst of nostalga!
Yeah, but there's a purse at the end which goes a long way in patching up those hard feelings.
LOL Good one. I must say I've never liked boxing. Seems so dumb to me but ooo the frustrations that you can take out. Well done my friend :) Have a great weekend :)
Boxing? Barbaric!
To my way of thinking, no form of fighting is a sport. I agree with Jinsky - boxing is barbaric.
Good 55.
Barbarism at it's best but I won't get on the soapbox, I won't, I won't.
Thanks Scots Lass
Cheers Mrs N
Ah yes the money Quilly!
Thom, Jinksy, SAW and Valerie I AGREE with you.

Cage fighting is even more brutal..

smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Men and not wanting to kiss friends - what are they like. My 55 here
Excellant story this week. I will pass on fighting or boxing. Too violent.
Have a lovely weekend.
It can certainly get fierce in that ring. Nicely done.
You ROCK, m'dear!
I had no idea where this was going, so when I got to your closing line it totally got me - HA!
EXCELLENT Flash 55!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Another good one, though I agree with many, Boxing, not my cup of tea. Very creative.
Boxing has been a sport I never got into watch. I just don't see how it's fun to get punched. hehe

I would think the audience would just make it worse.
Oh jeeeez...
What a bunch of sissies..
Excellent 55 Ake...
Don't listen to them, Laying the dead out in a casket for 4 days is barbaric, but they still do it!
Well, the Jews don't, but most everyone else does.
Excellent 55 my Dear
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
You got me! (at first I thought it was a married couple ROFL)
I hate to think about what goes through their minds Brian :(
Oh yes Buff :0
Me neither Bee, and MWM has never really been a fan of boxing either. :(
Yes, what is it with men John? ;)
Absolutely too violent Pam
Indeed it can Anthony!
I'm pleased you enjoyed it Ron
Thanks Bankerchick, boxing is not my cup of tea either.
I've never understood the attraction either Misty
Is that some kind of code Gleds?
Yes the cheering would just egg them on I think Alice :(
I take it you're a boxing fan G-man?
LOL do some married couples fight like that Susan????
Sport! Yup, I'm with you, I simply don't get how two people knocking lumps out of each other, can ever be considered fit entertainment (shrug), but it makes a great 55!
I have never been a fan of boxing. This is a fine depiction of the tension right before a bout.
A Neat Final knock out blow!
Legal - yes; intelligent - I've never thought so! I've never quite gotten the concept of two guys hitting each other being great sport but I know a lot of people do!
We're agreed on that Shrinky
I'm not a fan either Trav
Cheers Tony
Some people love it Linda,. to me it's just senseless.
Can you believe I used to watch boxing with my dad when I was a girl - because I liked it...? True story!
Very good, A!! And they call it sport. Hmm. D
Hmm...I am losing my mind ! I definately left a comment here yesterday ! Hmm...whatever, I just wanted you to know that I truly respect your creative writing abilities. Writing in exactly 55 words would be a challenge for me...I tend to be a bit wordy ! Keep on writing and I will keep on reading !
hehehe...my brothers should have built a ring so their fights could be legal, but the bell would ring all the time. hehehe
later honey. xx
