Featured Flash Fiction

I write a lot of flash fiction – every Friday, in fact. Mine is always 100 words long, and you can find much more of it in the archive, and you can download my free ebook 100 Not Out.

Here's a sample. See if you can work out what this is about...


NOT THELMA, NOT LOUISE

Hurtling in her car towards the cliff-edge, she asked herself how it had come to this.
 
Others said it was because she wanted so much, didn't think about the consequences. She on the other hand understood that it was her destiny. She had promised to follow this road. Any sort of U-turn would betray that promise, would see her pilloried. Not that there appeared to be any road back anyway, and the car appeared to have no brake or reverse gear.
 
No, she must be strong, she mustn't cry. Foot on the accelerator, look straight ahead. Shame about the car.
