Flash Fiction Friday - 5-25-12

Flash Fiction Friday. What can you do with only 100 words.



She stood waiting.

He said he’d be here over an hour ago, but she wasn’t giving up hope. Something could have delayed him. Yes, she had to keep telling herself that.

The rain soaked the boards of the pier sending a cool breeze across her legs and up her dress. Normally, it would bother her, but she was too busy watching, waiting.

Another twenty minutes went by, and nothing.

She was just about to give up, go back to her empty house, when she saw something…someone walking towards her. Without giving it a second thought, she ran to meet him.

  1. It's so interesting what a rainy, dark pier can do to your thoughts. Very thought provoking and beautiful.

  4. Oh wow, lets hope it was Him and not some axe murderer walking toward her. Seriously, I loved the angst of her waiting and wondering if he would show up. I've actually been in that situation myself.

  5. I wonder......was she waiting for a love, a spy, her brother. Could be anyone, but I hope it was HIM she ran to. Very spine chilling and quite the cliffhanger. Well done:) xo
