The Dumb Girl

#FlashFiction, #Flashbytes by #PhilipLoyd… I met her in Topeka.  No, it was Emporia.  No, it was Wichita.  Doesn’t matter.  What I do remember is that I met her in a saloon. I was working the i35 circuit at the time, making the Kansas tornado run on my way to Oklahoma.  I remember she was standing…

Blabbermouth Syndrome

#FlashFiction, #Flashbytes by #PhilipLoyd… They called him the Safety president. President Anthony Aegis. He ran on sweeping reforms to make America safe again. To save lives. He wasn’t kidding. Anthony Aegis was the most honest and truthful candidate the country had ever seen. It was his strict adherence to the truth, as much as it…

Like Dung for Dough

#FlashFiction, #Flashbytes by #PhilipLoyd I should have packed it in and moved to a desert island a long time ago when I still had the chance. When I was young. Instead, just like Billy Clyde Tuggle, I remained right here in the snake pit while society ate away at me like a bunch of cannibals.…

Elephants Never Forget

by Fat Chick Philly… I sneaked another peak at her across the bar, trying my best to not look like I was looking, but it was too late, she had seen me already.  Why was I trying to avoid being seen?  Because I was shy?  Not hardly.  I was lonely, and I didn’t want to…

The Queens Stacked

by Barry Goldstein… My wife is lovely like ruby-red lipstick.  She has the most exquisite, big and bouncy breasts.  Every time she rolls over in bed and kisses me good morning, she gives me a woody, and I’m reminded how she came to be my wife.  She is my queen.  Thanks to her, I finally…

The Internship – Caligula Style

#FlashFiction #Flashbytes #PhilipLoyd I’m not ashamed to say, I did my internship at this big bookseller corporation. Okay, wait a minute; maybe I am ashamed. I’m not going to say the name of the company because that would be inappropriate. McScrew-Hell. Truth is, McScrew-Hell is not a nice-little bookworm company like you might think. They’re…

Meeting Todd Rundgren

#FlashFiction #Flashbytes #PhilipLoyd I was down in the French Quarter the other day when I came across none other than Todd Rundgren himself. Who? Todd Rundgren. You know, the singer/songwriter with Top 40 hits in the 70s like Hello It’s Me and I Saw the Light? Doesn’t ring a bell? Bang the Drum All Day?…

My New Business Partner

by Legally Philly…   #thehammer I recently made a fateful choice: I decided to make my lawyer my new business partner.  Big Mistake. Huge mistake, but not for the reasons you might think.  Not because all lawyers come from the firm of Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe.  Nothing so trivial. So why, then?  Why did I decide…

My Little Friend from the 17th Century

by Purely Philly… I was down in the basement yesterday; that’s when I found him: my little friend from the 17th century. I just bought a home in the Beacon Hill district of Boston.  It’s one of those old houses that dates back before even America itself.  When I went down to the basement to…

The Weather Girl

#philiployd #FlashFiction #Flashbytes I was down at this bar called Southdowns the other night when all of a sudden I run into Jim McCaffrey.  You know Jim.  He’s the lead anchor over at Channel 12 News.  The old guy.  The one who’s been there for what seems like a million years. In reality, McCaffrey’s been…
