flash fiction friday #9

trying not to let my desire to experiment with erotica affect fff trigger choices...especially hard with my mother, when asked to help provide inspiration, saying shit like,
"i need a pants..."
me: "why?" (cause you know we live in a naked house and the only reason i have pants on is cause the mosquitos eating me alive, but she have no such problems)
ma: "cause this top doh match my panty..."
hilarious and inspiring, but panty references make my erotica bent too easy, no?
so, this week's trigger (edit: trigger to be used at any point in flash fiction):
all that was left was/were...

rules of engagement:
you will send in your suggestions for fff triggers (starter sentences, closers, titles, inclusion clauses, etc.) anytime during the week up to 11.55am friday, trinbago timezone; i will post the new fff trigger by noon friday trinbago timezone.
if your trigger is not chosen and you think it is too wonderful not to be chosen, you will send it in again the next week.
you will write an anecdote, short story, or novel length prose poem using the trigger provided.
you will add comments and appropriate linkage to my trigger-post indicating your desire to participate and the completion of your story (don't need a blogger/gmail account to comment on my blog).
you may join in at any time prior to the deadline.
you will display your story as a post on your own blog (or as a comment on my trigger-post or fasbook note or whatever, once we can all read it- please make sure we can all access the link to read it, not just those who are your friends on fasbook; there's a way to create public links for that, right?).
you will be done by monday noon trinbago timezone.
write fresh!
walk good.
