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...

an old woman knocking on Mr. Jones' door!

"Pass the salt", he said.
"Don't use too much", she said.
As they both sprinkled the crystals unto their canned beans.
They were both unaware of the highly present sodium content.

Their blood pressure rising like an active volcano!

"I wonder if I'll fly today", she said.
"I wonder if we'll strike today!"

In Moscow there are some 500 stray dogs that live in the metro stations, especially during colder months, but only about 20 have learned how to ride the trains, according to animal specialist Andrei Neuronov.

This is my brief 55 interpretation of one of those dogs morning ride...


YORGI

Yorgi waited on the platform for the 8:15 to Tverskaya.
Others gathered round, reading papers or just snoozing.

Yorgi kept calm as the train entered the station.
Doors opened, the humans embarked and at the last split second he dashed inside.

Yorgi was happy and looking forward to arriving in Tverskaya.
Today was shawarma day!

If you have your own 55, ride the train over to Mr. Know-It-All station and check in with the station master G-man.
