Flash

Compressed narration  
Words at haste  
In a race  
The next word chased  
 
Is it such an immoral sin  
My story is so wafer thin  
 
What should I write?
 
A thriller, horror, something gory  
A hero, good guy, steeped in glory  
Something sinister, dark and black  
Where the victim gets attacked  
Something grand, pen in hand
A sentence short, not widely spanned  
 
So there you have my short flash fiction
It's constricted, restricted, word eviction  
A paragraph struggle, feuding friction  
My eighty-eight word count micro addition  
 
The End
