The terrified driver watched powerlessly as they drove off with his truck.
In the garage they unloaded the boxes of 'Marlboro' cigarettes.
"We'll make a packet from this lot" said the boss gloatingly.
"Er, I don't think so boss, look at this" said one of the highjackers.
"the boxes are full of cardboard advertisements, sorry!"
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.

Nice one! :-)
It's a shame that all cigarette packets aren't like that! It would have saved me a fortune before I finally had enough willpower to stop by myself.
As it should be...grins
being brought up surrounded by smokers I never wanted to smoke - I once aged 8 took part in a "dare" but fortunately the wrong end was lit and the small fire put me off for life! lol!
Great build up - as ever!

Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
Flash fiction means 500 words to me. It takes a mean bit of skill to encapsulate a story into 55. I must try it out.
Nice to see you again, Akelemalu!

Hey doncha remember the good old days of fag-advertising..? JPS "short, black and sides"... Silk Cut (cutting purple silk)... and my favourite: Benson and Hedges, all the letters running out of a golden tap.
I always thought the appeal of B&H was to the poorer classes. That glamorous packet was pretty much the only gold they owned...
Serves them right!
oops My 140 Hope your week goes well
Hopefully Hope!
You could be right about the gold packet Gleds
