As the title of this entry obviously implies, Flash Fiction Friday is a day when I’ll be posting random flash fiction write-ups of mine that are as short as a few paragraphs – which is why they’re called flash fiction, after all.
Most times, Flash fiction neither has an introduction nor a conclusion; it's sort of like starting a movie at the very middle. The difference with flash fiction is, even with the few scenes that you, the reader, are presented with, you get a glimpse of the past and the present, but its up to you to make a conclusion of what you think will happen in the future. I assure you, flash fiction is definitely a fun read.
I will be posting these on the 2nd Friday of every month, so tune in to my webpage here every 2nd Friday for exciting new fiction write-ups. See below for a little intro to the very first flash fiction entry!

I stared.
Stared at my home phone as I listened to the single voice message I had.

It’s been nine years for heaven’s sake, get over it, I whispered to myself.
I
was happily married to the guy of my dreams, we had two adorable sons, I
had a great job as a Marketing Administrator, had the almost-perfect
mother-in-law. What more could I ask for?
I stretched my fingers to the Delete button on the machine, determined to not respond to this sudden intrusion in my life.
I needed to put the past behind me.
My
fingers hesitated. If there was nothing to it, a voice whispered in my
head, then why make a big fuss out of a phone call, from an old friend
who just wanted to catch up? I was happily married now and I was sure he
was, so what's brunch between old friends going to cost?
Not a darn thing.
I pressed the Call Back button.
