For today's snippet, I thought I'd share a few lines from a flash fiction tale (or tail! :) ) called It's a Dog's Life, which I wrote for Lex Chase's blog last year.
Peter loves Jake and hopes to woo him at a fancy dress party. However, nothing goes entirely to plan.
“Peter. You look.... Come in.”
When he stepped into the room, he understood. Indeed, he was surprised he hadn’t cottoned on when Christie came to the door wearing a sequinned black number. No one else was in costume.
He felt eyes upon him and leant in to hiss into Christie’s ear. “What the hell, Christie? You told me this was a sodding fancy dress party!”
If you enjoyed this little snippet, you can read the whole story for free on Tablo!
LOL...now I'm really curious what he's wearing! :)
ReplyDeleteDid someone confuse fancy dress with black tie or was someone being mean?
ReplyDeleteOh no! Haha. I wonder what his costume is?
ReplyDeleteI think someone may have needed to be more specific as to what "fancy dress" means. And I'm another who wants to know what he's wearing!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Haha!
ReplyDeleteLooks like they didn't quite define "fancy dress" the same way, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, one and all. As I said, it is up as a free read and is only flash fiction-length, so to find out more about his costume you need only click through to my Tablo page to enjoy the rest! :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I'm going to have to read the rest of this now and find out what happened!
ReplyDeleteLuckily it's only a flash fiction, so it's a quickie! :)
DeleteThis is one of my nightmares, lol.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed it never happens to you then, Debbie. Although, it works out okay for our hero in the end! :)
