The tension was unbearable,
standing in a slowly diminishing line.
Others wending their way back, having completed their mission.
Some smiling, some grimacing, one thing in common.
He stood stonefaced, giving nothing away, shaking inside.
He was in the army, he couldn't run
but he was terrified of needles and had to have his shots.
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.

Can you blame him? Those tiny little needles are like little demons waiting to.stab you...right?:)
Been there, done that, and it was just like you described.
I agree. I'm not sure that I'd like to face the other things he'll have to do in the army - but I hate needles!
Ha! Reminds me of when my hubby-to-be fainted, when we went to get our jabs for our honeymoon destination!
Needles don't bother me Melanie but my eldest son faints at the thought! LOL

HA! Excellent finish!
It's funny because I'm not fond of getting an injection, but I don't mind having my blood drawn. Isn't that weird?
