Quit by Job King
Flash fiction indeed.
A lot said in a few tight words.
A strong and visceral piece of writing.
I enjoyed 'The thing was this', too.
Look forward to reading more.

I liked it, but is it even possible to cry "tears heavy with phlegm"?

You'd probably have to squeeze them out nice and slow, but I reckon it's possible.

Ha - yes, quite right, Maddan! In my defence, I did that as my part in a 'write a 200 odd word short story by half past midnight' challenge with someone, and wrote it in about 15 mins.
Having said that, it's no excuse for making up biology. I'll amend later!

The thought of crying phlegm makes my eyes water.
Good story, I liked the way it led me in one direction, and then turned me in another – all in such a short space.
