What are (Facebook) Friends for?

Recently, not satisfied with producing a weekly story for the Flashnificent 7, I've been going to coffee shops with my fellow flash fiction colleagues, and producing pieces on titles supplied by them. This has proved a very useful exercise, both in terms of forcing me to cover subjects I wouldn't choose myself, and seeing whether giving me caffeine is a good idea.

Anyway, I've since opened up the idea one step further. Earlier this week, I asked for titles from my Facebook friends, and boy, did they deliver. Each of their eight prompts were quirky, interesting, and a joy to write on. Consequently, I'm publishing all of the tales here, once a day, for a week, starting with The Cat Flap Bandit.

Enjoy.
