Friday 55 Flasher
Flasher by Nara Malone You remember the story about red shoes?The girl had a craving. Craved something no one approved of.I had a craving like that.For a trenchcoat.Long black leather.Heavy.Supple.Gleaming softly in lamplight. I found one.Then I did something with it I shouldn’t have.Now I can’t take it off.Cuz when I wear it I can’t stop writing–Friday 55 Flashers. ~Nara Malone This is my contribution to G-Man’s Friday 55.
