Flash Fiction Friday # 7

This is this time of the week again... The Flash Fiction Friday time. And boy, do I love it. So here are my 100 words for a great picture, chosen by the talented Lee Brazil:







“No no no! You’re supposed to be sad, tortured, torn! Not joyful!”
Henry looked at the two young actors in disbelief. Sure, they were very cute, but they had no sense of tragedy. He sighed heavily and tried to talk with all the patience he could muster.
“You have to understand, we’re playing a gay version of Romeo and Juliet. We want to show the world we are not different from hetero people, we have feelings, we love as deeply as anybody… So please, let’s do it again, with more feelings this time. You think you can you do that?”


Hope you enjoyed it. As usual don't forget to read all the other stories from the FFF group. Just click on the list of names below. Have a great Friday :)

  9. Great post, JAde! I totally see how "Juliet" is missing the emotional aspect of his characterization!

  10. Jade, this supper and I love how you characterized how gay people have feeling and emotions just like heteros - nicely worded. Ok, so I just want to know, is that supposed to be Juliet on the balcony?? Hey, I thought Romeo was the Dom, not her.
