Pull My Finger
Winner of the Twilight Zone Challenge
Hey I just realised. something .. Anne ? what did I win?
Pull My Finger belongs to the following groups:
Flash Fiction“Pull my finger” said dad
“No” replied the son
“Go on , it’s a surprise”
“Dad, I’m thirteen. It isn’t even funny anymore”
“Go on, humour your old man”
“NO”
“Come on for your dear old dad’s sake. It’s been brewin’ for a while”
The son knew he would never get to fully enjoy the television show he was watching unless he complied with this age old ritual.
The son took his father’s finger and in a moment of cheekiness decided to push instead of pull.
The last thing the son remembers of his father was the look of shock and pain seconds before he exploded.

HuH? This has to be a dad/son ritual that I have no way of understanding. Lol
Anne van Alkemade
Good on you Danny. A deserved win too!
It makes me LOL every time I re-read it. (Perhaps that’s a touch of vindication, being the victim of a few windy relatives).

eeewwww!! that sounds a like squishy sort of mess. Good ole fashioned toliet humour to get the kids laughing.
Danny
BUT it is still humour ronnie, THAT is the important part.
Morbid words about a break up, broken heart, depressed lonely life etc, etc are just too many on this site.

Yeah, I was being nice when I said toliet humor I forgot the smiley face on the end. Was too busy thinking about my afternoon poo when I typed it and had to hurry out. It’s all good fun to read :0).

Danny
Family gatherings have always been fun at the Khan Compound.

I’ll never understand why humour is not taken seriously.
Congrats on the win.
Rachael Taylor
What a crack up! Very bloody funny indeed.Well done!
Anne van Alkemade
You won – a place in my mental list of winners should publishing ever become an option. My dream – a mini anthology of Flash Fiction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m afraid that’s all my personal treasury allows at this point in time.
Plus, I am making plans for a dynamic campaign on RedBubble to get Flash Fiction in the spotlight – more on that later.
Anne van Alkemade
PS – and currently second spot on the Featured Writings page!!!
