The Red Dress
“Isn’t this the most cutest dress ever?”
Olivia showed the limited edition red dress to her friend Kelly, who shrugged her shoulders.
“It’s okay.” Kelly replied looking over the other clothes in the store. Olivia loved this dress and was saving up. It would be hers in only a few days, the last one in stock.
The next day Kelly visited her.
“You know that dress you showed me? I decided to buy it.” Kelly took off her coat revealing the red dress Olivia had desired.
“It looks good on you.” Olivia heard herself say. Inside she was screaming.

I’ve been thinking about putting together an e-book of around 100 flash fiction stories (all 100 words). Do you think this would be a good idea?
