Stained Cloth | Flash Fiction


stained clothFlash Fiction of fifty-five words is often harder than it looks. This one took me about a day to polish.

There they were, staring at him, eight by ten glossies of guilt. His one and only sin had become more than just another Kodak moment.

Years ago I started writing Flash Fiction for just the sheer enjoyment of writing, and now it has turned into a full blown addiction. I can't quit the horse, man! Another dirty little secret about me is my ability to write all kinds of web content. SEO content, articles, blog posts, manifests; you name it, I'll write it. Looking for some help?
