April 16: Flash Fiction Challenge

99 words, no more, no less. It’s a simple constraint, an easy-to-master literary art form, and a powerful writing tool for creatives and entrepreneurs. Writers calibrate the usefulness and beauty of 99-words through weekly flash fiction challenges.

April 16, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about something crazy. Laugh like crazy, show the setting of stir-crazy or go off the rails on a crazy train. Have fun with the word and the situation, but go where the prompt leads!

Anita has insisted I write this one, and I have no idea why!

Crazy

Most people would object to being called crazy but I kinda like it, for I have never been what you would call normal.

I knew I was different from a very early age and in a funny way I have always been a little proud of the difference.

I’ll let you into my secret.

Being crazy I can get away with almost anything and no one has ever tried to stop me.

When I went shopping wearing my bunny rabbit onesie, no one was shocked or batted an eyelid.

but when I fixed the fence in the pouring rain…
