Fwd: Old Men!!!
>Skinny Dipping

Suzie’s House 205 : Seek and Ye Shall Find
It wasn’t there. How could it not be there? Ben knew good and well that he left his flash drive – the secret one he bought with his own money without telling anyone about – should be wedged between the back leg of his desk and the wall. So where was it?
55 – Go To Bed
No, you can’t eat, you’ve already brushed your teeth. Fine, then, have a glass of water. Quit playing in the sink. You were supposed to be in bed hours ago. No, you can’t leave the light on. All right, I’ll leave the hall light on, for now. Will you quit pounding on that pillow? Go to sleep, Dad.
The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is hosted by the G-man, a host with the most.

Suzie’s House 204: A Day in the Life of a Boarding House Owner
Suzie shoved the business end of her canister vacuum under Gene’s bed, and bumped something. Bending over, she flipped back the covers to see an amplifier. An amp? When did he get that? From where? She certainly hadn’t bought him one.
Getting down on her knees, she looked a bit further to see if he’d somehow come by an electric guitar to go with the amp, but besides a mountain of wadded school assignments mixed with old wrappers and miscellaneous junk the only thing she found was the acoustic guitar she’d loaned him.
