Flash Fiction Challenge – Rock Star
August 1, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about a rock star. You can feature a central character or write about the feeling like a rock star. Go where the prompt leads!
Rock Star
John Livingston stood in the center stage. It was their first concert on the road.
Ringo started the percussion. John, Paul and George plucked the guitars for three beats. They sang on the fourth beat.
“Hey Jude…, don’t make it bad…”
The fans screamed. The girls reached out their hands.
“Take a sad song and make it bet…ter…”
The screaming got louder.
“…Na-na-na na… hey Jude.”
The four bowed to reach to their fans. One girl pulled John so hard, he fell off the stage and hit his head.
“Ouch!”
“John, wake up. You’re late to your camping trip.”

Yes, I remember one Christian song with one line goes like, (whatever confusion I have) “… He made something beautiful of my life.”
