Hello, Hello! Flash Fiction Friday is here again. Is it me, or are the weeks flying by lately? Geesh.
A 100 word story, picture prompt. This weeks picture was chosen by Lisa Worrall.
Check out the other interpretations from the links below.
“What are you doing on the dresser, sweets?”
Sara crossed the sterile bedroom and sat on the rumpled bed. She looked around, taking in the empty bottles. When she glanced up at Scott, his head rested on his knees, arms locked tight. She’d never witnessed her brother so miserable.
His eyes held haunted knowledge.
Sara stood, walked to the closet and opened it.
Empty.
One man had the power to bring her brother to his knees. To put that hollow edge to his cheeks. Then she noticed the tear tracks.
“Where’s Mark?”
Scott’s will broke. “He left.”

I'm a mother, a wife, a reader, reviewer and a writer. I eat lots of chocolate, drink lots of ice coffee, and swear like a trucker with road rage. I'm a Virgo -- and I'm sometimes too honest. I can be over-emotional, and a tad crazy. You've been warned.
I love it!! Well done!
Oh, it’s so sad!! I could feel the poor guy sorrow!
great post
Oh,no! Aww. ER! That’s tragic. Great post.
Wow! Very nice emotion in this. Love the way you kept the tension throughout.
Sad, touching…great tension and build-up.:) xo
Ooh bittersweet but very well done!
How sad. Very good story.
Very well done my love – so sad
I’m guessing she’s the older sister. Well, she needs to tell him to get dressed and stop being a wuss. Tough love he needs tough love.
Aww, poor guy. Now sister has to cheer him up and give that “there’s plenty other fish in the sea” chat. Nice post.
Aw. How sad. I hope his sister can cheer him up.
I liked this. I could see it in my head. Great imagining in only 100 words. Great Six.
Wow! Poor guy. I hope his sister can get him back on his feet. Great post!
How sad. I feel for the guy. Great post!
No! You made me sniffle! The emotions in this just…the work up to the last sentence…oh man…great FFF!
So very sad. So very good!!
Fabulous post — loved it!
Bummer! But maybe he’s better off without Mark in his life if he has the power to hurt him so badly.
Aw, get the guy a blanket and a nice cup of tea!
