This
week Lillie McFerrin gave her readers the prompt word of “LUCKY” for which they’re
required to write a Five Sentence Flash Fiction, here is my response.
Every
Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Janice
never seemed to have any luck going back as far as her college years.
Although
she had been voted the homecoming queen, she never could get the attention of
the best looking guy on campus; instead he went for the plainest looking co-ed,
who he ultimately married.
At
a supermarket due to her kindest she allowed a senior citizen with four items
go ahead of her on the line who won the $10,000 prize for being the store’s 1,000,000th
customer.
The
same thing happened at the stationery store when a senior citizen bought the
instant lottery ticket she wanted to buy and won the Grand Prize.
However,
today, as she read the morning paper, Janice smiled from ear to ear, because
the guy she didn’t married and his wife got arrested for running a $50 million
Ponzi scheme.
I love the twist in this little tale! Nicely done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for the compliment. It took me longer than I'd expected to write this one. But a commercial I saw recently gave me the idea for this one.
DeleteLovely twist :)
ReplyDeleteThat two for a lovely twist at the end. Perhaps my chewing on a red Twizzler had something to do with my writing this. :-D :-D :-D
