Tuesday brings the flash fiction event hosted by Matt the Book Blogger. I love this challenge, I’ve taken part in them since Matt stared this challenge! Flash Fiction Foray, or FFF as we lovingly like to call it is a challenge where Matt gives a song as a prompt,,and we need to write a 100 word flash fiction piece based on that song, be it the name, the content, the emotion stirred up by the music…
This week, Matt has chosen ‘You Ruin Me’ by The Veronicas…
It’s funny, but I know I’m getting older now, as I hardly recognise newer songs by the name or artist… Yet I listen to it and think “Oh! That song!” And that was exactly what happened here with this one!
Check out the original prompt here.

What did you do? How did you do it? At what point did your tentacles, masquerading as love, wrap around me so tightly that I couldn’t wriggle free?
You give me everything, I know. I don’t want for anything at all… apart from your affection.
But now I’ve grown accustomed to this life… All these things…
I want to walk away, I really do. I want to feel the freedom that the others have, but I just can’t take that first step…
You ruin me, and all my good intentions, with every new wrapped gift box you bring each night…
Thank you and goodnight!
But I Smile Anyway...
