Flash Fiction Friday

Once again it’s time to kick the Random Word Generator. This week we get:

• Mole
• Tapestry
• Mustard
• Scarf
• Tide

Here’s my 100-word attempt at making a scene out of these:

Derringer sat in front of the tapestry, and I sat opposite, my coat and scarf draped over the back of the chair.

“Tell me, Miss Talley, why accuse me of murder?” The mole on his cheek rose as he grinned.

“Because, Mr. Derringer,” I said, “logically no-one else could have done it.”

He ran his hand through his mustard yellow hair.

“But the tide is against you. You’ve no evidence. No bodies. No weapon. Nothing.”

I was momentarily distracted by the hideousness of the tapestry, with its odd splotches of blue, orange, green, rust…

Wait—that wasn’t dye.

I smiled.
