For the A-to-Z Blogging Challenge this year, I’m posting a 100 word piece of flash fiction every day. It might be a self-contained story, or a scene–whatever, it’ll be fiction, and it’ll be over in a flash! Today’s story is…

Darren was still grinning when Danni kissed him.
“Amazing,” he said. “After twenty years of marriage, it felt like the first time.”
“Some girls just know how to make a man happy,” Danni smiled. “Coffee?”

“Back in a moment,” Danni said with a wink. Darren grinned back.

Ooh, the plot thickens! That’s an interesting concept. I don’t think I would use Delete, but Rewind would be pretty helpful…
Mmm… if I wrote romance stories, there’s a plot here that could be developed. That’s not my genre of choice, though–I just dabble for flash fiction. 🙂
Great stuff! I might try dabbling in this sort of thing after reading these – they’re brilliant!
Thanks, Cath! It’s worth trying, if only to hone your editing skills. But flash fiction is also a great way to try out different genres, or play with ideas without the commitment of a novel, or even a short story.

Thanks, Andrea! 🙂
These are addicting!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy them, Lisa. They’re certainly fun to write. 🙂
That’s an interesting twist. Hmmm, why would she do that?

Danni is a clever, stealthy woman. Very interesting concept.
