Hot Flash

He punched buttons on the console. The robot shuddered to life and took its first tentative steps before crumbling into a heap of circuitry.

Head hung, thoughts racing, he heard: “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up.”

Amidst the happy dance, he knew he had made the first comic bot.

November’s Hot Flash word isΒ dance. This offering comes it on the nose at 50 words.

If you would like to join the fun with the traditional Flash in the Pan words or the ultra shorts, Hot Flashes, simply drop by the FTP page for details (click the picture) and to catch up with some of your favorite flashing authors.

This flash is hot!

Where do you most often do the happy dance? Is it better with a partner? Does the happy dance require any sort of rhythm? Are you a flasher yet?

  1. Can’t believe I’m here first. I never am!

    I’m flipping back and forth between screens and when I read this, I laughed out loud. Yes, I do that a lot, but this time, you’ve never heard anything like it. So totally unexpected. Super Duper Great. (sorry, I’m tired and my language skills are a little warped tonight) but genuine! Ha ha ha.

  2. This is a fantastic comic flash! I just love it, and it reminds me of the few liner jokes that so many comedians strive to write. This made me laugh out loud, too! Thanks πŸ™‚

      • I am never surprised at your naughtiness Red but then I am enjoying all of your content and looking forward to some more enlightened offerings later on, I am of course restraining myself from adding anything too suggestive, but then you know how innocent I am so it’s okay πŸ™‚

        I have just read this
        one again, it’s great πŸ™‚

  7. I believe my favorite flash so far! You got a chuckle out of me. πŸ˜‰

    My husband used to do this bizarre little jumping around with his hands down by his side and called it his “happy dance”. It always made ME laugh, which was happy dancing on it’s own.

    My word limit at the moment is a hundred words… I will move on to the 50 word limit eventually, I hope, and then I’ll be able to have a go at these shorts!
