Flash Fiction Challenge – The Torch Relay
The Torch Relay
“Did you see the torch?”
“The flashlight?”
“No, the torch carried by the runner yesterday.”
“The tick with fire burning at the end?”
“Yes, the runners were on their way to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.”
“There’re 337 competitors from my country Britain.”
“Yes, 522 from the United States. The Torch Relay began in New York City and ended in Los Angeles, traversing 33 states. There were 3,636 runners passing on, carried the torch on foot for over 9,320 miles. Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympics for the third time in 2028, 44 years from now.”
“I’ll be here.”

I just Google it because I forgot where it will be. It’ll be in Japan. I heard a comment that the snow is great there for skiing, so it’ll be a wonderful celebration.

Yes, Robbie. I was on the street watching the athletics running by and took some photos. I couldn’t find the photos after 30 years so I did some research and got Google photos!

Thank you, Denise. I couldn’t find the photos I took of the runner carring the torch. I took several photos when they were running in front of the church. 🙂
