fresh vegetables without being hounded out of the produce department fame is definitely a cross to bear and one they never told me about when i was a nobody like you only the other day when i was walking down the street a woman was pushing her toddler along and the little toddler exclaimed there there the woman explained that the child had barely begun to say mama and papa but recognized me from television and couldn t resist calling out i gave the mother a two dollar note to buy the pathetic child an ice cream or something she said she usually didn t accept charity but since it was me she might just frame the money instead as a memento of the occasion and hang it on the wall there s no doubt that fame comes with riches i was a nobody before i went into healthcare and look at me now a rather silly and naïve politician said the other day that to get to be a billionaire implies you got there immorally immorally goodness she can call it what she wants but i worked hard to get my millions just the other day i got a request from the blind foundation i thought at first they were making drapes and window blinds for money to research health for eyes i pointed out that i got where i was through hard work and they should think about doing the same by way of example i pointed out that in the coming week i will be distributing a huge government grant for eye research there s going to be little left over to help the blind foundation s selfish cause period after that i shall be taking a well deserved break in the bahamas this entry was posted in a story a day creative fiction

first in a week of oxymorons aileen had misplaced her car keys they weren t where they should be which was on the book shelf in the living room slap bang in front of a copy of rudyard kipling s jungle book or maybe an inch or so along in front of daniel defoe s moll flanders the keys simply were not there maybe her husband had borrowed her car he often did if he wanted to quickly pop down to the shops to get something like milk or a packet of cigarettes when he came back he always dumped the keys in the wrong place often not even on the shelf where they were meant to be but in front of the guitar player s chord bible or something like that anyway they weren t there aileen retraced her steps it had been a whole day since she used the car so there were many places in the house she had been the keys weren t in the kitchen sometimes she put the car keys down on the kitchen bench while she got rid of the groceries she had just carried in from the car the keys weren t in the bathroom very rarely she might have to dash from the car to the bathroom upon arrival home the keys weren t on the coffee table in the lounge and they weren t in the bedroom although why they should be in those places she had no idea she even checked in the greenhouse why was anyone s guess thank goodness the reason she had for driving into town wasn t urgent the spare car keys were somewhere it was just a case of remembering where aileen looked on and off for a good part of the morning the keys could not be found when her husband came home she confessed her loss of keys had he perhaps inadvertently put them in his coat pocket but no did she leave them in the car aileen looked in the car there they were in the car keyhole they were in the last place i looked said aileen the last place she looked duh this entry was posted in a story a day creative fiction flash fiction tales yarns and tagged flash lost search keys mislaid carkeys last place on august 2 2026 by bruce goodman

regarded him as the brightest student in her class what she didn t realize was that brian copied everything from nadine summerville s work he d done that for weeks nadine let brian copy because she fancied him when the results of mathematics came out brian got first in the class nadine was somewhere around the middle of the students grades apart from occasionally changing a couple of numbers here and there brian knew that his work should have the same outcome as nadine s nadine was rightfully around the middle of the class and brian should have been there too congratulations brian swooned
