Patti Abbott, Gerald So and Mystery Dawg are at it again.
Every few months they host a Flash Fiction Challenge. I did the last two and thought I’d try this one as well.
The theme this time around is “Walmart, I Love You.” All of the stories have to incorporate Walmart and be in the neighborhood of 750 words.
THIS STORY AND THE OTHERS WRITTEN FOR THIS CHALLENGE HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN AN ANTHOLOGY CALLED DISCOUNT NOIR. IT’S AVAILABLE FROM UNTREED READS. BUY IT HERE.
I like the banter between Billy and Waylon. Waylon’s rationale for stealing the bra is priceless.
Yes, the banter rings so true. And stealing something like that and for that reason was so convincing. Really great story, John.
Good stuff! And Tijuana Wolfman sounds like a good flick. Someone should make it. Hope Maggie Anne Carlisle likes her present.
When I was younger I had a friend do the same thing only it was a pair of panties so he could claim he got them off one of the cheerleaders in our school. Your story brought back memories.
Tearing off the tag was a great touch. Had me in stitches. Nice job!
“Giving her a bra before you even ask her out might be a little weird.”
Yeah, that never, never goes well.
