Flash fiction time!!!!
Matt of The Book Blogger blog, has a weekly flash fiction challenge, where he gives us a song title for inspiration, to write a 100 word piece of fiction …
This week, the classic, “I’m Gonna Be” by The Proclaimers
“I’m gonna be ok,” she said, “I’m gonna be just fine… It’s just a little blood, I can cope!” The wave of queasiness washed over her again. What in the world had convinced her that that she could do this? The humanitarian in her had stepped up as soon as she had heard of the awful tragedy. There were injured people everywhere, they needed help, but there wasn’t enough medical support, so she offered… After all she had her first aid certificate… But dealing with a grazed knee at school, was a little different to dealing with the victims of a terrorist attack…
This piece is in memory of those victims of the London 7/7 attack… And to those Samaritans who did step up to help…
But I Smile Anyway...

A very moving tribute to a tragic event. There are truly inspiring stories of everyday people who saved lives making tourniquets with belts and the like.
Best, Matt

Yup, I had to… I remember that day so clearly, Lil Man was 8 days old, I was at home and Hubby Dearest was on Paternity leave, so he wasn’t in London that day… It was awful…
