Flash Fiction 69er


A response to a challenge from The Daily Toast to write a 69 word story based on the above picture that included the acronym HNT, which stands for , forgive me if I do not get the accent quite right, “Half Nakkid Thursday.” The spelling may be wrong, this is a whole new world to me. . This is my first ever attempt at flash fiction- it’s hard!

It was HNT-and they had tickets for the ballet. She had imagined an evening lost in a crowd, his eyes on the ballerinas, all that succulent attention wasted on others.
They had met in the theatre; he had simply glanced at her outfit before marching her out and booking them into a hotel. He stood now, belt slipping through loops, his dark eyes glued to his own errant ballerina.

    OMG!!!! This is awesome! I adore it… and the beauty and artistry of your soul reaches through your words to clutch gently at my throat!

    Great job!

  4. Poppy says:

    VERY splendid, Poppy.

  9. Poppy says:

    Thank you very much. Jay's is fab, isn't it? I will make sure I go and say so.

    I think splendidity should be rewarded AND it is friday night. I will take silence as agreement. That will be most efficient of me I think.

  10. Season says:

    Excellent Poppy! You inspired me to write one.

  11. Spanky says:

    I just have to pop back in and say that "splendidity" is absolutely the best word I've read all day! And there's been a lot of splendidity in the first Flash Fiction Friday!

  12. Measha says:

    Excellent!

  13. Poppy says:

    Thank you Spanky and Measha! And Season yours was fantastic and look what you inspired!

    If anyone is in the least bit interested the above ploy to get a reward did not work out for me in the least. We live in an unfair world and some people are too strict for my own good.
