Flash Fiction Friday 55 - "Drifter"


He drifted into town with a guitar and a bad habit.

Traveling had made him weary. He longed for a hot shower, shave and a cold beer.

His only friend was the open road, but now he even grew weary of that companion.

Las Vegas had taken a toll on his senses. He had to refocus.


If you have your own 55 drift on over to the G-Man at Mr. Know-It-All and let him focus on your work...

I dig that picture you used here... reminds me of that movie with Antonio Banderas where he was an assassin who also carried a guitar.

By the way, I’ve issued a Poetry Challenge, if anyone is interested.
