Flash Fiction Friday #12

Just in case you run into someone and want to impress them with your ability to dabble in fiction under the gun, I should tell you that the Flash Fiction sites I’ve previously been involved with allow you something life five hours to get the story up. Generally, they’ll post the sentence at 7:00PM and you have to have your story up by midnight.

We’re just here to have fun, so I stretched the deadline a bit – okay, a lot - but if you’re ever interested in trying it Hard Core, let me know.

Otherwise, here are the rules:

You will write an anecdote or very short story beginning with the sentence below.

You will add comments to this post indicating your desire to participate and the completion of your story. You may join in at any time prior to the deadline.

You will display your story as a post on your own blog.

You will be done by Monday 12:00 Noon CST.

Those are all the rules, if you ask me about the rules or if something is or isn't allowed by the rules, I will put your dog on your best couch and scare him so badly he both pees and vomits all over it.

And here is the sentence (as suggested be an avid FFF’er):

The children are gone...
