SPRING FLOWERS

Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields @ Addicted to Purple. She has supplied us with a new photo prompt via The Reclining Gentleman To participate simply write a complete story in 100 words or less.
As Rochelle says, make every word count!





SPRING FLOWERS

I plant my favorite flowers in the community garden for all to enjoy. The first to bloom, the cheerful daffodil, with crocuses not far behind, then the tulips, a constant display of color and beauty.

My husband would be unmoved, and yet I can't help but think of him.

George and his girlfriend, Juliet, prepared for a quick escape to Rio, after cleaning out my bank account. Foiled them I did, well, my murderous hearted brother, and me. His handiwork, their downfall.

Now my brother celebrates freedom in Rio and I plant flowers on the grave of George and Juliet.

Good one! Alas, it seems that what some people are best suited for is to fertilize the garden...

Good little flash fiction of revenge. :)

Hi Yolanda,

I wish I could make every word count, but it just doesn't add up...

Such grave consequences and now I'm off to the Copa, Copacabana...

Have a lovely Valentine's Day, my adorable friend!
