Doing It Together

25/8/2017

 
As Darcy approached, Lizzie tensed: it was bigger than she'd expected. But he had another surprise for her.
 
"I need help, I've never done this before," he confessed, fumbling for the spot.
 
"Let me guide you," Lizzie said. She took his hand. "There. That's the place," she reassured him. "But relax, it's not a disaster if it goes wrong."
 
She leaned back against the wall for purchase. Soon, she felt a judder.
 
Darcy smiled, but looked at her anxiously. "OK?"
 
"Perfect," Lizzie said. "One hole drilled, 15 to go. We'll have this IKEA wall cabinet up before you know it."

    Flash Fiction

    Flash fiction is very, very short fiction indeed - short stories of any sort of length from a Haiku to ten minutes' reading. Good for when you're in a hurry. This series is a selection of contributions to Friday Flash Fiction, where there's a limit of 100 words. I try to make all mine exactly 100 words.
