Don't get too friendly with the neighbours.
Don't let the kids have friends stay over.
Don't phone old acquaintances.
Don't send birthday cards to friends and relatives.
Don't remember your birthday.
Don't remember your history.
Don't remember your name,
Don't talk about your previous life....
it doesn't exist when you're on the Witness Protection Programme.
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.

ha, nope. you might as well forget all that...
if you want to live...
nice 55
I've often thought about what life must be like in that program - you lose nearly everything!
We have a good show, here in the states called 'In Plain Sight' that is about 2 US marshals and their exploits with people in the program and how they ended up there.
It would be okay for me, I forget nearly everything duh!
aha ... as always you are so clever with your words
You speak from experience don't you? Few people know that you are really a bloke named Bert from Liverpool!
Loved your 55 Pearl
Thanks for playing, sorry for blowing your cover, and please have a Kick Ass Week-End
I've always thought that people on the programme must be in fear of their lives all the time Brian. No way to live is it?
Absolutely SAW, it can't be any fun can it?
That sounds like a very interesting programme BankerChick.
LOL Valerie!
Why thankyou x
I now understand why, when I was little and we moved house, my parents did not want to know the new neighbours... but why shouldn't you call an old acquaintance..?
"it doesn't exist when you're on the Witness Protection Programme."
Brilliant finish, m'dear!
Simply brilliant!
Have a faaaaaabulous weekend!

Very cool, Ake!
You're parents were on the Witness Protection Programme Gleds??? I imagine getting in touch with anyone from your previous life could be dangerous just in case you let something slip about your new life.
Glad you enjoyed it Ron x
Thanks Mama Zen :)
Today talking to neighbors can be dangerous to your health regardless.lol People have changed to a great degree.
I always had a full house of kids.
Even in a witness protection program that wouldn't change if I had kids going to school.Just new kids, new friends, new name, new house etc....
Relatives also live far away so that wouldnt make much difference as we dont have that much contact anyway.
Times have changed. In a sense we all live in a different program set up by government and society for us all geared away from family values.
my own recipe for quiet obscurity!
