As usual, the weekend went by in a flash and we find ourselves staring Monday in the face again. To get your mind working, why not have a go at one of my two short story competitions (with prizes!) One of them is for a flash fiction story of up to 100 words. You can write a gripping crime story, which will have me on the edge of my seat, or you could go for a story to make me laugh. Here’s one of mine for you:
The Accident
He screamed; the pain was agonising. He couldn’t go on like this for much longer. Someone had to come and rescue him soon. His head whipped round; he’d heard something…hadn’t he? Horses’ hooves hurtled towards him. He sighed. Why had they bothered to come? They wouldn’t be any good at all. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men wouldn’t be able to put him, Humpty, together again.
