Friday 55 Flash Fiction #144 The perfect gift......



Christmas morning found her tearing at the wrapping paper enclosing her Christmas present.



Tricia gently removed the contents and stared at a beautiful silver framed photo,



a perfect shot of her and Dan in a passionate embrace.



She gasped in shock, dismay clutched at her heart.



No doubt now, her husband knew about her affair.



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 guess that's one way a husband can tell his wife that he knows...

I loved it and I love how your mind just thinks these things up so effortlessly.

I usually love to do my Christmas shopping during the whole year so when it comes time for it I don't have to do anything but think of Christmas puddin. lol
Lately however, I have been very lax and leave things to the last minute.Sooo not like me at all.
