Welcome to day twenty-six of the A to Z Challenge! My theme is 100 word (give or take a word or two) flash fiction on 
the darker side of human nature. I hope you enjoy.
Zero
Never let it be said that I have zero compassion. You are focussing on the wrong things. Sure, you are tied up in my basement. Hungry and alone Sure you want to go home; your family are worried about you. But I do have compassion. I do care. I cried watching the touching press conference where your husband begged for your safe return. I feel for him. I have compassion, just not for you. Like you had zero compassion for me the night you cut in front of me in line at the supermarket and I missed the last bus. Revenge is sweet.
For extended versions of the A-Z flash fiction pieces and some whole new stories too, download my book, Twisted Tales.
We did it! The last day of the challenge! Is it weird that I am really going to miss it?
Let me know what you think in the comments 🙂
You can find me here: Twitter Facebook Bloglovin Pinterest and Instagram Please do stop by and say hi!
Some people overreact…
I don’t know if it’s weird that you’ll miss it. That’s why you did it, right? You planned to enjoy it?
They sure do 🙂
That’s a really good point, I did plan to enjoy it and I have so it’s not weird to miss it at all!
Hooray! Last post! Congrats on making it to the end. Your flash was awesome.

We did it!! Thank you so much for all the visits and comments, I hope we can stay in touch now the challenge is over 🙂
Well, I hope the person s/he is talking to gathers all their strength and escapes!
I’ve enjoyed reading your posts this month and hope we can stay in touch!
Me too!
I’ve enjoyed your posts too and yes, I would love that 🙂
Wow, slight overreaction ha ha! Hope you continue to do these short stories, even though it is the end of A to Z Challenge. I always look forward to reading them 🙂 x
Lol, it is rather! I am planning a book of short stories for release mid-June and I am thinking of posting some new ones a little more regularly too! x
Well done on finishing the A to Z challenge and I love this piece – especially the little twist at the end. That’s quite an overreaction! 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Haha, it is isn’t it, some people are off the scale!
Ah. At least this person wants revenge for something that makes sense.
Yeah, right.
Haha, maybe a slight over reaction!
I like the post as well as the celebration lap for A to Z.
This was a good group of A to Z folk this year.
Im going back to remodeling and packing
Thank you 🙂 Yeah, there was so many fab blogs this year!

Have you enjoyed the challenge? Did you hop to other blogs? The end of the alphabet here! Reflections sign up is May 9– mark a calendar.
My blog’s giveaway is still going. I’m encouraging everyone to visit more stops.
Ha ha ha! I love that crazy voice. Great job.
I’ll definitely be signing up!
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Zeroed in on her, didn’t you?
Enjoyed your posts Debbie.
Hope you’ll visit my blog,too.
Did’t mean to, it happened-
the rhyming, I mean.
Thank you 🙂 I’m planning on visiting every blog so I will 🙂
Wow, Debbie! Great finish! So, how hard was it to keep up with the challenge?
Thank you 🙂 It’s not too hard to keep up with posting because I’m used to posting daily anyway, but keeping up with the visits was a lot harder than I thought, but I still plan on visiting everyone, it will just take a bit longer than I originally planned!
Another excellent flash, Debbie! No, it’s not weird… I think all of us, as exhausted as we may be, are beginning to show signs of withdrawal already 😀
Congratulations on reaching the finish line! I’m so glad we connected like we did this month, and I look forward to many visits back and forth throughout the year 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Yeah, it’s really weird going back to posting normal stuff again!
Me too, I will definitely still be visiting you through the year, it’s great to find a blog you just “get” straight away!
That is making me think twice about ever cutting in front of someone. Although, I don’t do it anyways. lol
Great job finishing the challenge. Yours was probably one of the more creative ones on my list to read!
Haha, yeah it would definitely make you think twice!
Thank you so much, I hope you enjoyed them all 🙂
I like it.
Thank you 🙂
Love the way you finished this off. Brilliant. There were times reading these when I was jealous of the fun you must ahve had, but I can also imagine how much of a commitment it was. Bravo Debbie
Thank you 🙂 It is a lot of fun, but it only really works if you visit the other blogs so it is pretty time consuming, but it’s totally worth it!
I know I shouldn’t, I actually laughed reading this! Unfortunately there are people like that out there in the world… Going back shit crazy because you cut in front of them at the supermarket 😂 Of course this takes it to a whole other level! 🙂
I’m sad it’s over, because I absolutely love reading your A-Z! Xxx #AnythingGoes
It sort of is funny in a twisted way 🙂 I’m sad too, I’ve loved this theme, I’m really glad you’ve enjoyed the posts x
Love this – are you starting from A again now??? #AnythingGoes
Thank you 🙂 No, not until next April lol
I think you must watch a lot of Criminal Minds. 😀
Lol, I read a lot of crime books!
Revenge is the sweetest, lethal weapon. Love it loads:)
It sure is! Thank you 🙂
Nice finish, Debbie!
There is nothing more irritating (well, maybe there really is and I’m not thinking about it yet) than a person who cuts in front of you…. And then to miss the bus!
Glad you had a fun run at the A to Z!
Thank you 🙂 It really is a good way to annoy pretty much everyone isn’t it!
But of an extreme response to cutting in line but I suppose some people are that crazy! (Thankfully the extreme minority, I just make a sarky comment!) #BloggerClubUK
People are crazy, that’s for sure! I do the same (the sarky comment I mean, not the abduction lol)
Oh dear, someone has overreacted slightly haven’t they? Haha. Aww I’m not doing the a-z challenge but I’ll miss it too because I’ve loved reading your posts. If you’re not doing so already you should definitely write a book, so talented xx #BloggerClubUK
Haha, I think she did a bit! Thank you, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed them. I’ve just finished my first novel, and I have a book of short stories planned for release mid-June! x
This has been a great challenge I’ve really enjoyed reading it. And yes I can totally understand you saying you’re going to miss it – I felt the same when I finished my 30 day challenge! Well done chick xx #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 I really miss it, I enjoyed writing all the little stories! x
Well done for making it to end of the challenge! A good one to end on x
Thank you 🙂
Congrats on making it to the end!! I’ve never heard of this before!! it looks like such fun!
Lx
#BloggerClubUK
Thank you! It is a lot of fun. It happens every April, sign up usually starts late January if you fancy giving it a go next year 🙂
wow dark! Love the idea of this flash fiction challenge – bet you’ve got a 101 ideas for a novel now – and makes a change from mummy blogging – I’ve enjoyed reading your little snippets too! #BloggerClubUK
I have so many ideas, I just need to have more hours in the day now lol 🙂
Great challenge – like this one! I remember setting our students things like this and they enjoyed it – we did one for staff too – 20 words though – teachers say they’re too busy!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙂 Wow, 20 words would be really tough!
Brilliant! What happens next!?! There is a novel in the making 🙂
Thank you 🙂 I’m releasing a book of short stories mid-June with some of these short pieces expanded. I’m pretty sure this one will be one of them 😉
Wow well done you! I have enjoyed your A-Z challenge, I love this latest one and am sad that it’s the last!! #BloggerClubUK
Thank you, it’s been so much fun taking part 🙂 I’m planning on releasing a book of short stories mid-June, so there’s more to come!
Love this! Well done on making it to the end of the challenge! #bloggerclubuk
Thank you, I really enjoyed the challenge 🙂
What an awesome way to end your challenge! 🙂 #bloggerclubUK
Thank you, I’m glad you like it 🙂
Great final post for A to Z! #bloggerclubuk
Thank you 🙂
Yay! You made it to the end and I love this last one just as much as the rest! You did an awesome job Debbie! I like this one because I can relate to it more than the others. I hate when I’m driving and people cut me off. Over Christmas break, I had a guy actually stop me on the road and accuse me of riding his tail, which is something I don’t do. He got in my face and let me tell ya, your story is definitely relatable, LOL! Thanks so much for all of your flash fiction! #bloggerclubuk
Thank you so much, I’ve really enjoyed the challenge 🙂 Wow, that’s crazy, I hope you put him in his place! Hopefully not in your basement though lol 🙂
Well done on finishing your challenge, I love a bit of dark! #BloggerClubUK
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I feel I have a lot of catching up to do as this is the first of your challenge I’ve read….but wow, such powerful writing, I loved it! I hope the person finds their inner steel and escapes :)thanks for hosting #bloggerclubuk
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope you like the rest if you get time to read them 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
Love this going to go back and look at some other as haven’t seen them #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 I hope you enjoy the others!
Wow! This is the first time I’ve read one of these posts and it is the last! Gave me goosebumps… I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to these thinkgs but you wrote it so well 🙂 I hope the book release does brilliantly 🙂
Thank you is probably the wrong response, but I was kind of aiming for goose bumps so thank you 🙂
What a great idea to flex those writing muscles. Like the twist at the end and congratulations on making it all the way through the alphabet. What’s next?! #bloggerclubuk
Thank you, I really enjoyed it 🙂 I’m planning a book release for mid-June, then after that, who knows!
Well done you! This made me giggle, I’m not going to think about that too much #BloggerClubUK
Haha, a few people have said that, I think there is an element of dark humour to it!
Ooooh! That’s good. I was gripped! #BloggerClubUk
Thank you so much 🙂
Well done in completing it. That really was some passage, quite dark but also intriguing. #bloggerclubuk
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
This one is just as scary as the rest – how do you come up with your ideas? I won’t dare take someone’s spot in the check out line anyway! #bloggerclubuk
Sometimes they just sort of come to me, other times I start writing and see where it goes. Haha, no I wouldn’t either! x
Good to have a sense of proportion in revenge! Well done on completing the challenge! #BloggerClubUK
Haha, it is! Thank you 🙂
Well done on making it to the end. I’m impressed by your dedication to the cause. Look forward to seeing what you can do when you have a higher word count to play with.
#BloggerClubUK
Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy the longer stories!
You are my inspiration Deb. I don’t know how you find the time to do all this blogging, writing, and the book! Good job! Thanks for hostessing the fab #bloggerukclub
Thank you, that means a lot to me. Too many late nights mostly lol 🙂 Thanks for linking up
Wow! Hahaha man I love your twists. She cut in line! Oh dear…. xo
No one likes a line cutter lol 🙂 x
