Flash Fiction - Don't

Don't" Laura begged, her lovely long blonde locks flowing in the cool night wind. She wanted me to stay but I knew I couldn’t. 

She'd cheated on me for the last time. I couldn't keep on forgiving her; this was the last time. She had to understand how how much pain she had caused.

"Don't" a teary-eyed Laura pleaded once more, her hand gripped my arm ever more tightly. 

However, I had already decided to let her go, and watched as she faded away into the dark sky, clutching and grabbing frantically at empty air.

This was my competition entry into a 100 word Flash Competition 

Flash Fiction - Three Fat Men

Three fat man came up the stairs. 

I got a bat wrapped around my head. 

Taekwondo kicked in, and I saved my life, but didn't bubble up so the police ruined my life. 

To be a grass, or to not be a grass, that was the question.

Flash Fiction - Doctor

I'm thinking no doctor can fix me,

and why are hospital wards so noisy.

What do these tubes of liquid pump into me.

Do any nurses look on with real pity?

A week in bed then home thankfully.

I thought God, why do bad things always happen to me.
