Friday 55 Flash Fiction #152 Old Friends.......


Carol watched the door waiting for Beverley's arrival.

She'd noticed the woman by the window, strange looking she thought.

Thirty minutes later Carol pulled on her coat and headed for the door.

"Hello Carol" said the woman by the window.

"Bev?   I didn't recognise you!"

"I had plastic surgery, what do you think?" asked Bev.



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 had plastic surgery, what do you think?" asked Bev."

    Anyone who has botox deserves to look strange. When you find out how they test it you wouldn't go near the stuff. Serves her right!
    Good 55 words.

    That must have been quite the bit of plastic surgery she got there to have someone not even recognize her! Not sure if that's good or bad, though!

    Well why didn't Bev knock?
    I'm not a fan of reconstruction aesthetics, so I think I'd be a little concerned about Bev's new look. Great 55.

    I agree AJ, too risky by half!

    What is new with Bev? Could it be her face? Thats the power of surgeries. It makes me laugh. Changes wans't that bad especially Plastic surgery Beverly Hills is a place quite known when it comes to surgeries.

    Now, people have become extremely conscious about their looks. You can get that with cosmetic surgery. This is best answer to all these woes concerning looks. That plastic surgery is the only way they can resort to for enhancing their lifestyle. Talk about Plastic surgery Beverly Hills is quite a good place for those who desires changes.

    I agree with You Maggie!

    Well I suppose that's the only reason people have plastic surgery Cheshire Wife but some go just too far don't you think?

    No problem Cloudia you're here now. x

    Some go just too far though Jenny.


    You're so right Odat!
