Friday Flash Fiction - Hero



Mr G has been away for a while due to illness but he's back and raring to go again. Welcome back G, you've been missed!

Each Friday I write a short story in exactly 55 words. If you'd like to join in the fun and games, write your story, visit G-Man and let him know you've posted.



Fire engulfed the children, they screamed in terror. A man appeared from the shadows to sweep them away. He was hailed a hero, given a medal of honour. The praise filled him with a warmth inside he’d been missing since childhood, but nothing could compare to the thrill he felt while watching his fires burn.

P.S. The house has finally been sold and I've had my way too long haired chopped off. I feel like a new woman...woohoo!  I'll post a pic when I get my hair looking as good as it did in the salon, this could take a while, LOL.
