This week's 55 Flash Fiction Friday offering uses the prompt "distraction" provided by Lena, a loyal reader. In fact, one of the only loyal readers that is not my daughter. I am doing something a little bit different this post. If you want to hear the piece read in the author's monotone voice, here it is.

Distraction
He awoke in agony
Choked by the stench of expended gunpowder
His comrades lay motionless
He needed a distraction lest the pain would drive him mad
A pretty, barefoot, girl in a sundress
Her hair shining in the Carolina sun
Her smile beckoned him to her
When medics found him his lifeless face was smiling
