Flash Fiction Friday (7) Always the Bridesmaid

 

Flash Fiction Friday is a way to inspire, create and let loose with your musey selves. I don’t even know if that’s a word, probably not, but it works, so whatever. Maybe I’ll coin a new phrase.

Flash Fiction is a 100 word story, no more–no less. The pic this week was chosen by Sherri Hayes. Check her out.

 

My contribution this week?:

 

 

 

 

“Screw this, I’m so done!” Amy snatched her shoes out of her lap and stood up, brushing dirt off her frilly bridesmaid dress. She stalked over to the bartender caught his eye, “Give me a drink. Vodka, straight-up.”

 

The bartender just looked at her, then looked over her shoulder at the blushing bride and her handsome groom. Amy followed his line of sight, and muttered, “Fucking asshole, conniving, self-righteous-cheating-prick!”

 

“Bad day?”

 

Amy raised her brow at him, tossed back her shot, licking her lips, said, “Yeah, you could say that.”

 

“There you are!”

 

Fuck.

 

As always, visit the other flashers!

    That made me smile. Good one!

  2. Davee says:

    I feel that way being at most weddings….lol….not the cheating part though. Nice FFF

  3. Yikes, now that is a bad day! Poor Amy and now she has to drum up the pretense of happiness for the blushing bride and smiling groom. I can picture the bartender eyeing her ass as she sashays away and catches up with her outside. ;) She needs some lovin'! Great one, Erika!

  4. Bonni Sansom says:

    Yep, she's having a bad day alright. Great post!

  5. Yvonne Nicolas says:

    LOL! Gotta shake it off and put on that smile. It sucks to do that when you know the groom is a cheating bastard. Cool post.

  9. Lee Brazil says:

    Oh good lord, I've been in her shoes… well… not those high heeled ones, but metaphorically… Great post, Erika!

  10. Benjamin says:

    Well, it's clear Amy has got issues, but I'll be damn if I can figure out what. She's either pissed off at the groom or one of the groomsmen, unless the bride has a prick under her dress. I love FFF posts that leave me guessing and wondering what the hell just happened. Excellent Ms. E.R., you get it – a FFF should always leaving the reader wanting more. XOXOXO

  11. Katie Harper says:

    LOVED IT!! She needs to drive a toothpick through the groom's eyeball. That would make her feel loads better.

  12. Lani Rhea says:

    Oh my sweet goondess! I take it the cheating prick found her and wanted a little somein' somesin' before he is to leave with his new bride. If I were her, I'd turn around and smack the ass across the face. Then flirt with the cute bartender. *wink* Great FFF! Loved it! xo

  13. Gemma Parkes says:

    I love your interpretation of this pic! Think l’ll join her in that vodka!

  14. Sherri Hayes says:

    lol. Something tells me she was hoping he wouldn't find her. ;)

  15. patricia logan says:

    God I hate cheaters. Yeah, I'd be pissed but I want to know why she agreed to be a bridesmaid to begin with. Great interpretation Erika

  16. Lisa says:

    Ooooh totally loved it :)

  17. Venus says:

    Fantastic — I want details!!

  18. Michelle Chatton says:

    This was great and I loved her attitude. Obviously the groom is the problem and I think he is going to get is just desserts from this lady.

    A fun and thought inspiring FFF.

  19. Havan says:

    She is gonna let loose on him too – I can feel it! lol

  20. AH1 says:

    That made me chuckle. Can't wait to read more!

  21. CJM says:

    Wow, I think I know that groom too ;-)
