At 4:30 AM, like so many nights before, she was "out" with girlfriends. In the past if she did come home, she smelled of Marlboro Reds, booze, and Brut. Startled by a noise in the garage, he checked. There she was, passed out....Car running.
Smiling, he closed the garage door, and went to bed!

Oooo, that's a wicked little 55-word fable. Galen does the Dark Side.:)
Oh man... talk about cold! That's, like, Antarctic! {{Shiverrrr}}
I put a warning label on this one... could be a bit too much for those of finer sensibilities. Some things ya just can't make "pretty".
Like a semi-staged suicide... jeez!
55 Flash Fiction Friday #28: Chapter 20 - Mutthee

Oh, I know that girl, at least I used to. Glad I never had a garage back in the day! Mine is up!
Very nice ending. Great 55.
I played this week although my 55 is more like a promotion. I went to see a local Independent movie and am pumped about it now.
Well have a nice weekend G.
Hmmm, well, that's an interesting 55. :) After being away for some time, and after a personal appeal from the G-Man himself, I'm back again.
Happy 55 Fiction Fridays!!!
Great one! I love these 55s!
Light week this week... might be time to start crackin' the whip!

Great stuff m'dear. x
that'll show her now won't it? LOL! Great 55 as always Galen. I sure hope you all are staying warm and dry, I have been watching the news and heard mention of the frigid temps up there. I think Tennessee is working it's way into a competition with the Northern states because we have been cold as well.
Have a great weekend!

But in a good way, of course.
I'm late this week, but I did two to make up for it.
hey g-man...
since i'm involved in another challenge, where i need to post 12k words for the year, i decided to kill 2 with one, ie. add 55/day, weekdays, which will bring me past the requirements... 55x5=275[x4=1100/month] ;)
beginning tomorrow, i'll try to post my 55/day...
because i was given a bonus of 1000 words for signing up early, to date i have 1243 words... the 243 is posted, and as my bit in jason's flash fiction challenge [click on j evans in my pals+ list]
hope you, and others, partake in jason's next one :)
ewwww - I'd say you have a bit of latent resentment hanging around somewheres... Where's that happy go lucky G Man! Is it because testosterone is building up for the big upcoming Superbowl or what? Come on, spill.
Loved your 55. I have been there before.....lol :) but at least I got into the house before I passed out.
I have a 55, but it is a little late.
Good 55! I´ll really try to play this week, promise!
ok... my first is up... titled mini I
He went to bed and died from the carbon monoxide coming into the house from the car. The police found him the next morning when the police came with a warrant for his arrest for that late library book he never turned in.
Love your 55 story.
