Flash Fiction Fun

        Standing in the wings, I watched the actors on stage. I had a few short lines in the play, but it was a crucial part. Anyway, that’s what my drama teacher said. He insisted I say the lines slowly and clearly.

        I heard my clue and strode onto the stage. “I have a message, my lady.”

        “Thank heavens. What did he say?”

        Suddenly, my mind went blank. I fumbled the words. “Midnight, on the bridge. Come alone.”

Let’s see what the others wrote:
