On Twitter, #talesfromblackfriday has begun.
(You can find 2013’s, crowdsourced Storified Black Friday saga right here.)
(And you can find my own early contribution to 2014’s edition Storified here.)
If you usually do flash fiction challenges at the site — well, now you’ve got this week’s challenge: Join the fun on Twitter. Or write flash fiction horror stories based around Black Friday. Post today and today only though — this is no weekly challenge. Link back here if you do flash fiction, yeah?
It happens today, folks.
Horror and hilarity.
The love-child of Clive Barker and Christopher Moore.
Tales from Black Friday has begun.

Almost felt as if I was there. Maybe I was. Hang on, the fluorescents in here just started to hum…

Thats’s outstanding. Just like it looked on MSNBC this morning. At least it sounds like you managed to avoid the worst of it.

Did it! It’s one of the stories in my new “People Who Need To Die” book. The Amazon page for “Black Friday Revenge” is http://www.amazon.com/People-Who-Need-Die-Revenge-ebook/dp/B00HROTLZ2

Crikey, you don’t ask much Chuck. Well, here it is, my dark horror story in just 500 words, all written today in honour of this challenge.
I give you: Black Friday

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Wait – I didn’t?
Too late.

I did one as well, in tweets, but embedded in my blog. I just thought what if there were a Black Friday plastic surgery deal? And went with it ad lib

I haven’t attempted to Storify it yet, but I have something up on Twitter, @dangerd3an

dangerdean says:
I’ve put a link on my blog to satisfy the “linking back here” convention, but you might as well go directly to the Storify.
https://storify.com/dangerd3an/tales-from-black-friday
Or heck, go to the blog anyway and see what else is there.

I’m not sure what Black Friday is in the States… so I hope what I wrote did something for it. I had to Google what it was…

Black Friday was somewhat “meh” in my area. I think people finally figured out there’s a Black Friday on the interwebs.
