For
A to Z 2015 I will be posting flash fiction, all random, all the crazy musings
of a crazy mind. Hope you like them.
D
is for Dead Drunk
The man stumbled to
the side, gripping the side of the wall as he went. There were others there,
but they were in the same state, which explains why they didn’t notice. He
faltered again, that time to the floor, that time to his end.
Some noticed then.
Noticed his hand
gripping his side, noticed his blood spilled on the ground. Noticed the door in
the back close, the door to the alley just behind the bar.
An assassin using the cover of alcohol - interesting....

Sounds like the start of a TV crime show. And also very sad because the scene could be real.
ReplyDeleteMurder!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that was good. It held me to the end. That would make a great beginning to a crime story.
I agree with the comments above, and I love this: "all random, all the crazy musings of a crazy mind" ... this sounds like a true description of a writer!
ReplyDeleteHe just got knifed!
ReplyDeleteSuper use of words...poor guy.
ReplyDeleteD for dark! Great one. Glad you're doing this for A-Z. I've missed your flash fiction. :)
ReplyDeleteThat brings a whole other definition to "Dead Drunk".
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it could be a small scene in a much bigger story. I'd love to know what happened before and after. :-)

Hello there.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second flash fiction I've come across for the letter "D". So much can be read into this. I'm always in awe of ones who can say so much in so few words. Thanks for sharing.
