Flash Fiction Friday - 4-27-12

Flash Fiction Friday is an author challenge. What can you do with only 100 words?
“Who do you think she is?”

“No idea,” Jamie said, glancing over at his friend.

“Do you think we should do something? Talk to her?”

Jamie looked at his friend in disbelief. They’d been exploring the overgrown woods behind his grandfather’s house when they’d stumbled across a strange looking woman.

Before he could answer, the woman turned around and stared at them. The problem, however; was that her eyes were not in her face but her hands.

Not waiting to see the woman’s reaction to them spying, the two boys took off at a full run back toward the house.

  11. Boys will be boys - who knows, maybe that encounter kept them out of some serious trouble in the future. Sometimes, it's best not to go looking for something you may not want to find. Well done Sherri, I love the creativity.
