Fix

The Fix Is In

Knock, knock.

Psst, Edgar sent me. I need a little something.

Don’t know no Edgar, man. Maybe Clive next door can supply you.

Knock, knock.

Guy next door says maybe you can give me something to make me feel good.

Sure, man! What you need, some allegory, a little bit of alliteration??

Nah, guy. I’m Jonesing for a story-line for a 100-word Flash Fiction.  Can’t score one myself.

Why don’t you write about how it resembles going up a dark, dead-end alley, like a junkie desperately looking for a fix?

Great idea!

Dime bags of inspiration are now twenty bucks.

Go to Rochelle’s Addicted to Purple site and use her Wednesday photo as a prompt to write a complete 100 word story.

    Oh how I wish inspiration could be bought – I’d venture up a dingy back alley to find a supplier. Brilliant take Archon – I love it.

      I dare not go there before I start, or I never get an idea of my own. It shows a million and a half, other people’s ideas. It’s like the bowling league banquet that I attended. I got there early and took a seat right next to the buffet table, thinking I might even get a second helping.
      Then the emcee stood up, pointed to the other side of the room, and said, “We’ll start over there, then work our way across the back, and finish up here.” By the time I got served, there were three green beans, a wilted lettuce leaf, and a bit of dried stuffing left. You don’t want to read the story of the stuffing. 😯 😳

  11. Creative idea and a good story, Archon. If creativity could be bought there’d be quite a line. Good writing. 🙂 — Suzanne
