He escaped after five years as a prisoner of war. He was hailed a hero. He returned home a free man but his wife no longer understood him, his young children barely remembered him and the paparazzi stalked him constantly. A prisoner in his own home, he felt more trapped than he ever had before.

Hmmm, where did this story come from? Must have been watching Homeland again, hehe! I've been watching the rerun on telly as I missed it the first time around. Don't tell me what happens please :)

Have a great weekend all!

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!

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.
