Golden Ghost Flower
The following 100-word Friday Flash Fiction is based on the photo prompt provided by Madison Woods. Visit her blog at

“What’s that?” Baxter asked.
“How should I know? Do I look like a botanist?” I replied
“No, you look like a smart-ass, and you smell like one too.”
“Well, it’s obviously a plant of some sort, maybe a flower.”
“You don’t reckon it’s an aphrodisiac do you?”
“Why don’t you eat it and find out? I’d enjoy watching you howl at the moon all night and running wild like you were chasing a bitch in heat.”
Baxter bent low and sniffed the plant. “It might be poisonous.”
“Could be,” I replied. “Let’s just hike our legs and mark it.”

Pretty well written for such a naughty piece, you devil you. Something about that prompt brought our the worst in conception in you and me, not in the writing, but just a bit earthy in our perceptions…
