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!
A hearty breakfast
The delicious smell of frying bacon insinuated itself into Hank’s dream. He half-smiled, then grimaced as the pain of his bruised jaw woke him up. The light came on and Roberto, the less brutal of his guards, approached with a tray.
He set it down in front of Hank. Bacon, sausage, mushrooms, eggs, beans, toast and coffee.
“What’s up?”
“Your ransom hasn’t been paid.”
“So? – Hey, is this for me?”
“Sure.”
Hank tried one of the fried eggs.
“Perfect!”
“We’re gonna shoot you when you’ve finished. You know what they say: “The condemned man…”
Suddenly, Hank wasn’t hungry any more.
