Every week, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (thank you, Rochelle!) hosts a flash fiction challenge, to write a complete story, based on a photoprompt, with a beginning, middle and end, in 100 words or less. Post it on your blog, and include the Photoprompt and Inlinkz on your page. Link your story URL. Then the fun starts as you read other peoples’ stories and comment on them!

The famous star nodded acquiescence.

“Action!”
David spoke. What he spoke was unintelligible apart from the words MacDonald and Barlinnie.
“Cut! Alright, you’ve had your fun. Let’s shoot some decent footage, shall we?”
* * *
“We’re going down!”
With a roar like an avalanche the helicopter smashed through the roof of the film studio.
