“Am I crazy?” she asks herself, staring into the sugar bowl. “He accuses me of being insane often enough.
Maybe he’s right.”
Doubt quickly passes. She smiles and shakes her head, “No.
After all, crazy people never ask if they
are crazy."
Feeling reassured, she spoons the arsenic into his pretty new
neighbor's teacup.
Thank you, G-Man!
A fine first 55!
ReplyDeleteha, nice....and a wee bit scary you know....i think we all are a bit insane...smiles.
ReplyDeleteUh...No thanks Brandi, I'll pass on the Tea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific first time offering.
I hope you found this to be challenging, creative, and Fun!
Loved your twisty 55
Thanks for playing, please join us again next week, and have a Kick Ass Holiday Week-End
Thanks everyone! I knew my first 55 had to be something...out there...
DeleteYou know, as a woman I have more leeway to express psychosis in a creative way. In fact, it is probably expected. I have been playing with other 55 fiction stories and it is NOT easy! It IS very addicting!
What a wickedly delightful tale! I think I like her, but I won't be visiting for tea. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree... who among us is 100% sane... I doubt there are many. But, don't invite me for a cuppa tea...ok?
ReplyDeleteGreat first 55... hears to many more :)
Hehehe....good job I make my own tea isn't...hehe,xx Rachel
ReplyDeleteOh, just herbal tea for my Sugar Sweet Speedy!
Deleteuh-oh!!!! LOL! LOVE this!!! I want to share it but want to make sure I get what the Friday Flash 55 is - is it simply where someone writes a flash piece, on Fridays? What is the 55 about? This would be really fun to do.
ReplyDeleteGo to the GMAN link in the post. Flash Fiction 55, if I get this, is telling a story in 55 words exactly. It's tough when you need to express something, or explain something, and you have to keep it in 55 words. You do a lot of rewriting and rephrasing. You would be great at it! Make one up and post it on your blog, then go the G-mans blog, let him know in the comments that you are playing a post a link to your blog. The people that participate are writers, like you,and are experts at it, but I have super enjoyed this. I have been working on two more that need a bit of tweaking before I post them the next two Fridays.
DeleteA lovely, gruesome 55 for starters! LOl ♥
ReplyDeleteNice job! But like so many others, I'll bring my own tea from now on....
ReplyDeleteI always wondered about that crazy assessment.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your encouragement and nice comments. Can't wait to play again and hope to see more first time entries from newbies! Thanks, G-Man!
