Frannie closed the newspaper, smoothing the pages. Obituaries were her daily breakfast reading.
Her smile was wry. Yes, Marcel had gotten her wedding present of vintage wine. Knowing he and his bride had shared it on their wedding night somehow did not ease her brokenhearted mood.
Welcome to “Flash in the Pan”
Welcome to the 2013 Spring Edition of Flash in the Pan! We are opening with the first Hot Flash. The upper limit is 50 words and this little number comes in at 45. This month’s word is brokenhearted.
If you are reading this, you have a jump on all the other flashers. The new words are up, but the Hot Flash word for January is not out yet. If you want to get started, swing by the Flash in the Pan page for more details. We are going on an emotional journey this quarter. The deadline for the third edition of Flash in the Pan is 31MARCH13. Do not be late!
The first editions of Flash in the Pan is available on Redmund Productions now, and it is a free download! Grab your copy today. While you are there, look at the other books in the book store from the many talented authors of RedmundPro.
Happy Flashing!
Did Frannie do it? If you think she did, how did she do it? Have you gotten your copy of Flash in the Pan? Are you going to be flashing with us this quarter?

/ January 5, 2013LOL! You were on the right track first. She sent the wine as a wedding present to him and her, who drank it on their wedding night. She is brokenhearted.

/ January 4, 2013I think my shipment may have been sent to the wrong address. Do you think that might be who is partying at my neighbor’s home? 😉 Mums the word about the list. See you in a few, my friend 😉
Androgoth
/ January 4, 2013Yes well if there are loud hauntingly sweet wicked and delicious screams being heard then YES it was delivered to the wrong address but don’t panic you have plenty of everything for this to be one of the most deliciously orientated vacations that you have ever had 🙂 😉
Wow I think that I will pack my bag and join you, it sounds so exciting and I could just do with some, nooo I mean some relaxing days and nights by the pool sipping cocktails and being waited on hand and foot by the nymphs of the night, well something like that anyway 😉
Have a lovely time my sweet and great friend you deserve it 🙂

MJ Logan
/ January 5, 2013Poison in the glass provided with the gift of wine? Perhaps a coating of foxglove extract–That would certainly cause a “brokenhearted” effect.

Red
/ January 9, 2013Great poison, but I do not think it was a gift basket. Just a bottle of vintage wine.
Binky
/ January 5, 2013Perhaps a little poison around the lip of the bottle.

Red
/ January 9, 2013That would have to be some really powerful poison. Which one did you have in mind?
