Always on the outside looking in, success evaded him.
He was determined to make the big time, by fair means or foul.
He chose the latter.
Now he’s inside looking out. .
interesting take, you always have a different way to view things which is always interesting
That’s really kind of you, thanks so much.
Short cuts sometimes end badly.
Too true!
😍
Well done Keith – big mistake for the marginalised guy … clever interpretation … all the best – Hilary
Too right! Thanks Hilary.
Bad person!
Do not pass GO, Do not collect £200.
Well, as it happens he has a get out of jail free card!
Aw, shucks! I wish he hadn’t fouled up. Exceedingly apt graphic to boot 🙂
He tried but took the wrong route! Thanks so much, Dora.
Dear Keith,
What you do with the graphic is every bit as entertaining as your words. I’d say your MC used marginal judgement. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, Rochelle, the graphics usually take more time and thought than the story! As far as he’s concerned, you’re probably right!
Neat take on the prompt.
Thanks, Bear!
Well done — you, not him!
Haha – I’m glad you clarified that Mimi!
IT never pays in the end, does it?
Well done, Sir!
Absolutely not! Cheers Dale.
Love how the outside looking in and success bookmarked with the closing looking out and all the in between – felt like more than 31 words
It did take a lot of trimming, but I’m pleased it worked! Thanks so much, Prior.
you make it look so easy – but because I have done my own flash fiction (on and off) I think i can now really appreciate the skill that goes into such well-done short pieces
