Dark Flash Fiction: Their Day
This little piece of dark flash fiction is inspired by some true life events of some friends getting married soon. I decided to make it more dark and yet humorous, I hope. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
It vexed me to no end watching him walk down the aisle. The nagging feeling that he would screw this all up again made me look as though I drunk sour milk to my wife, who shook her head and frowned.
