FLASH
FICTION
FRIDAY
Erasing the past
Standing by the edge of the road I watched as the flames engulfed
house I had called home, and could still feel the heat on my skin.
Smiling I knew that, within minutes, there would be no reminders of
my life before the fire and as I picked up the small holdall of
clothes, money and passport I had packed ready for this day, I turned
and began to walk away from all the lies, the deceit and the
heartbreak I had suffered for years and began my journey to as far
away from this place, this life, as possible.

Wow, loved it. So much hurt packed into 100 words :-)
Such painful memories deserved to be destroyed. LOVED IT!
That was a fully charged flash of a mere 100 words, Julez. This is tempting me to encourage you to take this farther. Who hasn't dreamed of starting over and burying the past is glowing embers? I loved this flash :) xo
I felt the hurt burning as the flames did together with his desperation for happiness in a new life. I hope his future is better. Great flash
I love the picture you created in his eyes, looking at his past go up in flames. Your take on the photo was original and good.
