Flash Fiction #2: Launch

This week's story is another 100 word drabble:


Launch
By Gareth D Jones

This story is now forthcoming from Flashshots.


I got the inspiration for this from Bob Shaw's The Ragged Astronauts and Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers. This is slightly more daft than either of them though.

An amusing and definitely unexpected conclusion!

What an image - hocked into space in a giant ball of phlegm!

Atchoo!

That's what I like about flash fiction; you can use all those ideas that probably couldn't sustain a full length story.

Thanks for all your comments.
