Friday Flash 55.....


.
.
A lovely tree-lined street....Circa 1988.
(Knock Knock)
The heavy oak door slowly opens.
"Yes"?
'Hello, my name is Julie, I'm a Jehovah's Witness, and I'm....
(The door opens wider)
"Julie? Please come in. If you'll excuse me just a second, I have some fava beans cooking on the stove, my name is Hannibal...
.
.
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 stuffed-up host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

  10. Haven't seen the movie, but I've heard all about this Hannibal chap. He's nuttin' like the original Hannibal, though. Maybe he would have asked the JW to take a ride on an elephant?
