Flash Fiction Challenge: Behold The Idiomatic!

Flash Fiction Challenge: Behold The Idiomatic!

by terribleminds

The Idiomatic.
I love it. It basically mashes up a couple-few idioms into something new and very possibly inane, and very possibly wise. (Example: “God shouldn’t cross the bridge till you come to it.” What does that mean? I don’t know! But damnit, I like it.) It forms the backbone of today’s fiction challenge.
Click it. Get a fake mash-up idiom you like. (Re-clicks are fine, obviously.)
Then use it in a story.
That’s it.
Length: ~1000 words
Due by: Friday, September 2nd, noon EST (holy shit, it’ll be September soon, you guys)
Write it at your online space, link to it in the comments, and voila.

Flash Fiction Challenge: Mr Redface

We get off the bus at Dad’s house to spend the weekend, and my sister goes racing in at top speed. “Daddy! Daddy! Miss Jako said my handwriting is better! I got a gold star! Look, Daddy!” Lucy’s babbling suddenly becomes a high-pitched shriek of absolute terror. I find her in the living room, sobbing and scrambling away from the sofa where Dad is sleeping by the beer cans and the cigarette butts.

No. Not sleeping.

Also. Not Dad.
