Friday 55 Flash Fiction #158 Peeping Tom......


He tried to be quiet, didn't want to disturb them.


A chink in the curtains should he look?


He felt bad about it, but he couldn't help himself.


There they were, watching the TV.


I suppose they've shut the curtains to stop the glare on the TV screen


thought Tom as he cleaned the windows.



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.

    Don't have to worry about window cleaners here but we do have people who come to read our electric meters sometimes and they have a habit of showing up at the worst possible times.

    Like the sunny day my wife and I stayed home from work and started "hugging" on the couch with the windows open.

    "thought Tom as he cleaned the windows."

    HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! FLAWLESS!

    You have no idea how paranoid I get when my apartment building has the window washers come out and wash our windows once a year. I have all my mini blinds in my apartment shut tight, so they can't see in!!

    Fab 55 Flash, m'dear!

    Have a super weekend....X
