The Ides of March #juliuscaesar #flashfiction #idesofmarch
A day of reference in the Roman calendar like the Kalends or the Nones except in this case a day where one man is plagued by prophecy…
“What does a mere mortal know about life or death?” Julius grimaces
“He will believe he is safe with us. Let’s make his last moments memorable.” The best of the ’44 is poured.
Friday Flash Fiction (hosted each week by the G-Man) is a fun and challenging way to put your skill to the test by writing a story in 55 words. Happy Ides of March to one and all.

I think some people think in poems if that is true than you do…
Ouch… He didn’t know he had to take care. He wouldn’t have stood a chance anyway and, from what I’ve read about him, he was as blood thirsty as they all were in those days.
Great 55!
Ah! He was killed on March 15! Didn’t know that.
