FUCKED! - by David Barber

David's back, but a word of warning...there's a lot of swearing in this one...just noticed the title...oh, fuck!

FUCKED!

“It shouldn’t have fucking happened that way: it was supposed to run smoothly and no-one was supposed to get hurt.”

“Oh, we’re fucked. Oh, we’re fucked. We’re fucked…fucked…fucked.”

“Will you shut the fuck up Graham and calm down.”

“But, we are fucked though.”

“NO! we’re not fucked, Joe. You can calm down as well and shut the fuck up.”

Tony sat at his kitchen table alone, hands covered in blood, swearing too much at the voices...

    Hah ha ha. Laughed out loud when I read the title, and then really enjoyed the flash fiction - so much said in so few words.

    Someone asked me if I found four letter words in literature to be offensive. I told them to fuck off!
