Friday Flash 55.....



"You know, it's getting kind of late, and I really should be going".

'Oh come on Mary-Jo, the party is just getting started!
Besides, I happen to know that the last ferry to Edgartown doesn't leave till 11:30. We can make it to the dock in plenty of time...I know a short cut"!!




If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55...
Please come tell The G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick-Ass Week-End!
Peace...And R.I.P. FINALLY Mary-Jo...!!!

    I did a 55. I remember the whole story of your 55. That is why I think it is nuts about how great they think Ted is. He should have went to jail.

    Your 55 causes one to think. What makes up a man, his best or his worst actions?
