Friday Fictioneers – 6 April…

I’ve found another weekly writing challenge (yay).  Rochelle invites us to write a flash fiction piece of 100 words or less based on the photo prompt:

Here is my attempt to this weeks challenge:

Breaking Records

“What you fooling around at?”

“Practicing for a new world record.”

“Not another one.”

“Ever heard of the gyroscopic effect?”

“Urrmm, No.”

“Well, I have. We learnt about it in school. It’s pretty cool, dad. I want to beat that guy, you know, David Spathaky?”

“Never heard of him.”

“He’s the one I gotta beat. He managed like a 108. He had an assistant too. Hey, maybe you could be mine?”

Chuckling he snorted, “you don’t stand a hope in hell.  You ain’t no circus act. Get back to washing them dishes son. Plate spinning is for fools.”
