Date Night

by Chuck Grossart

Tempest Finn has a blind date. Tonight won't be their first meeting. But it will be their last.

****

Flash fiction stories generally run from between 100 and 1,000 words, with the lower word counts representing a challenge to the writer to craft a story with a beginning, middle, and end, along with characters, plot, maybe a hook or twist, and a resolution.

I hope you like it.

THis is another short story, but it was well written with a surprise twist to it. I really enjoyed the ending as it was unexpected

Date Night (a flash fiction story) by Chuck Grossart I received a free kindle copy of Date Night, A Flash Fiction Story by Chuck Grossart in an Amazon promotion.I gave this very short story four stars. "Most people would have called the police...but not Tempest Finn.From the time she was sixteen, she'd been on her own, with no one to rely on but herelf. Life had been tough, but Tempest was tougher. This was her problem, & she'd handle it alone."This story definitely kept my attention.

Fast-paced, compact flash fiction at its finest. Very satisfying. The only thing I'd change is the title. (I strongly think it should be "Blind Date".) :)
