3 Word Wednesday & 55 Flash Fiction Friday

The prompts for 3 Word Wednesday are Nerve, Illicit and Crumple. As usual I am combining 3WW and 55 Flash Fiction Friday.....

Seeing her crumpled clothes on the floor made her feel so dirty. He tells her he loves her. She does these illicit acts to please him.

Cuffed, arrested and going downtown she finds out her boyfriend is a pimp.



She must get up her nerve to run, she doesn’t want to be hurt like before.

Dark. Not sure 55 words is enough.

Well done - the story is captured and yet not over - most stories never end. I like this.

Gritty. Real life is messy. Well done.

I really like the way this began to build The opening is fantastic, so many emotions in such a small amount of words. I will be honest, I was thrown by the pimp reference. I would have liked him to be some corporate hot-shot who needs the illicit acts to build on his ego. But that's me. I'm dark.

That being said, I still think this works very well.

I liked it as it was, but I would have arranged it entirely between the two photos, not cut up by them, because it took me too long away from the story, which is short, to return as easily as would have liked. That is just me.

I liked it. Thanks.
