Featured Flash Fiction

I write a lot of flash fiction – most Fridays, in fact. Mine is always exactly 100 words long. You can find much more of it in the archive, and you can download my free ebooks 100 Not Out and 200 Not Out. If you'd like to give it a try yourself, visit the site I also edit, Friday Flash Fiction.

SCHOOL LESSON

“So what did you learn at school today, Chloe?”

“There’s a new President, Grandpa. He’s son of the old President, and grandson of the one before that.”

“That’s right, Chloe. Was your teacher pleased?”

“Delighted. She said that in the bad old days we’d no idea who would become President. Every four years, people just stuck something in a box, like a lucky dip.”

“Maybe a bit like that, Chloe.”

“Didn’t you once say you liked that way, Grandpa?”

‘Might have. But never, ever let them hear you say it… promise me, Chloe.”

“I promise… it’ll be our secret, Grandpa.”
