Flash Fiction Friday: THE FAST LANE

Below is my humble contribution to
MR G-MAN who hosts every Friday
a 55-word Flash Fiction--Come join the fun!!!



OH! The trust placed on another!
The faith which I have for each
Who--careening--drives toward me
At death-dealing rates of speed
And I—moderately (ahem) ride
Opposite other side.
Why so fast, out of gas? Will it last?
Finally see woman speeding toward--
--WHOOOSHHHH! Oh, My God, is it...
It IS!!! 

mother?......

  8. Hey, it was good to hear from you. Don't worry, as soon as the book gets published, I'll let you read the whole thing! Right now your visits are helping me towards that goal and ...the writing is just as good through the whole 363 pages. Cheers.

  15. Steve, that was too hysterical. I can see some senior citizen mom, with goggles, and a black scarf, flying down the highway, outrunning the highway patrol!
