He telegraphed. "I'll be here Tuesday." Fifteen years since that last drunken night. Then postcards: Katmandu, Kinshasa, Peru... My tidy life and the 8.45 bus to work.
I called in sick, waited, didn't see him. Neighbours told me. He got off the 8.45, his bag got caught, dragged underwheel. Killed instantly.

hmm, not bad
Oh, a bleak little tale, Offy, and with the ring of truth. Just the sort of horrid trick fate plays...
A girl met her boy. Through time and space. It was too complicated. She cried a lot. Such pain. .Nothing more to say. So sad, it’s over. Put on the sounds – crank up the music. Love, live and dance. In a field in Hampshire – I lost my heart.
Sorry to hear the disturbing and frightening news Offie.
Nicely weighted piece and really I hope it isn't true (or you might be offended by me saying that you have used 8.45 twice and not counted them amongst the words)...
Fiction, lads, utter fiction. I just wanted to see it I could write something dramatic in 50 words. Well, 51 really. And, Doc, I didn't do the counting, Word did. Thank Dog for that.
what is this a blog or a hatchery? where's that going?
file, doctor, zeph cut off the water supply please the guy is hallucinating-
The only good thing about this story is, it's short.
c u soon offy.:)
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to come up with that "compliment". I don't know about the water, but I fear Guitou and file have been drinking from the same contaminated vat.
c u soon, indeed.
office in Tahiti,
dramatic in 50 words, my experience on the palm desert golf course or golf day in a haunted house-
- I'll take my A game of the bag.
-could make a ball stop on glass
no1-oh god not over there!
no2-anybody see where that went?
no3-What'd I do wrong?
no4-I think that's out.
no5-I don't understand.
no6-who designed this hole?
no7-shit it's in the water- this is not a green,it's devil's Island, I'm going home.
Is Offy in an office now? Is that why small satan gets no fish deliveries?
No, not in an office. Guitou can't spell for love nor money. I'm in an off-licence.
is that like a grog shop?
guitou,
hellava story, laughed out loud
OfflicenceinTahiti,G,
if this little cameo is anything to go by you are going to have a riot in the Mistral, just leave the web cam on and running, it will be a web sensation
salute! chin chin! Gazhundeit!
the next Stuff competition/challenge/death match should be humourous, guitou get ready, offie take a break, oh you are already...
