Smorgasbord Short Story – Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction – Rock Star by Sally Cronin

This week Charli Mills  the Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction Challenge shares her joy at having bills to pay.. it has been a long and challenging process to move into their new home, but it has all worked out. She also shares her delight in her new course to obtain her degree and this week’s prompt, which is to write 99 words, no more no less about a Rock Star..

Without further ado….here is my bit of flash.

Rock Star by Sally Cronin

The performance came to a climax, the singer whipping sweat laden hair around in a frenzy. Voice gravelly with fatigue, he growled out the final lyrics, gyrating across the stage. The last notes faded to the roar of the crowd. Thrusting his guitar above his head, he backed into the wings. Grabbing a towel he headed to his dressing room, eager for what waited for him. He sat back in the chair satisfied. Nothing like a fish paste sandwich and glass of cold milk to end the night. He smiled at the woman. ‘Thanks Mum just what I needed.’
