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?......

    Wow! I love the car and what an exciting read, but...how terrible -- to turn out to be "mother"! I'm a mother and that hurt more than you know. though...it was still lots of fun!

    Don't nobody distract that woman while she's driving! Hey, I'm a mom. I can say things like that.

    Love the ending on this one.

    This is not the way to spend more time with mom. Just get up on the curb--you'll be fine. Thanks for the smiles.

    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.

    I didn't see the mother coming here at all! Sounds like a scary (and twisted - lol) game of chicken!

    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!
