So let’s go to prompt right away.
Fiction Writing Challenge – #FridayFotoFiction Oct27-Nov1 Prompt
The Buddy – Flash Fiction Writing – #FridayFotoFiction
“Get in the car Bruno….”
Ohh.. the car!
He pulled up his wrist to check the time, the familiar Bulgari has been replaced.
He turned around to have a look.
My buddy for 6 years! Have to say bye now!
Picking up the morning paper from the porch, he sat down on the steps to give a read before leaving.
I had started this company at 23. Success, triumph, wealth, women weren’t too hard to get. There’s no one who could stand up in my competition. Yet!
Memories of earlier days with Jim flashed by. Jim, his buddy. The friend who reduced him to this state.
His only fault – he had completely trusted Jim.
‘Billionaire Joe Salter ousted from his company – his net worth dwindled to zero’- said the headlines of the newspaper.

There were many lovely takes on the prompt both light hearted and emotional ones. So this week we have two featured bloggers on #FridayFotoFiction
Our first featured blogger for Oct- 20-25 is Lavanya from Lavmuses. She is a Chartered Accountant by profession and a writer by passion, a Bibliophile, and a crazy Wodehouse fan. Read her featured post The Profitable Service.
Congratulations girl.
Our second featured blogger is a new entrant, who is here because of our lovely Akshata from Opinionatedmua. His story was lovely with a social message too that touched me. Read his featured story Fire.

With friends like these who needs enemies!
Good one, Tina!
Sad sad state of the world .. good story
The costliest lesson learnt, leaving a sour taste in mind!
Good one, Tina
o no !! bitter experience about the most expensive thing called trust
Choose frineds wisely. Some friendships can be very destructive.
Betrayal is the worst thing someone can face- that guy will have to pay for his sins- God is watching
Some people love to stab others in the back
Poor guy. To learn difficult lessons of the world so late!
That was a good take on the photo prompt. I just hope that Karma has a field day when it gets to Jim.:)
The friendship sure takes away many things at times. Nice take. 🙂
I like the concept of #fridayfotofiction, would love to participate in this very soon.
Nice take! I like how you brought out how he didnt have any of his prized possessions anymore
Impressive! So much in so few words. Loved the story. Yes, sometimes those you trust turn out to be your worst enemy. But then life does spring surprises. Doesn’t it?
Friends or enemies? Its hard to judge people sometimes. Good one Tina.
Money and power are enough to turn good relationships into enmity. Good take on the prompt.
Gayatri recently posted – The promise
No wonder we have more enemies than friends. Every relation is going for a toss now. We value nothing but our greed for money and power. A sad reality.
This was the first idea I had in mind too when I saw the photo, but changed it after reading yours. I think this is the second time we’ve had the exact same story in mind 🙂
Wow we are thinking in same wavelength then!
