#FlashTag: Old World

#FlashTag @monologging The headlines were discouraging.

#FlashTag @monologging Refugee Crisis. Bubble & Bust. Greece… Abdul perused the sports page. “I’ll bet,” he said, choosing his horse.

#FlashTag @jkres14 Abdul knew he was descending into vice. No stopping a charging horse. The street wound down the hill toward the racetrack.

#FlashTag @diranasaurus Abdul considered the old men he knew when he was little. The racetrack-goers old & young clutched their tickets.

#FlashTag @JeffreyFBarken The gates burst open. “And they’re off!” the announcer hollered. Abdul’s horse steered through the stampede.

#FlashTag @NairobiCollins It used to be a man could make a living on the strength of a horse. Now, luck was all Abdul had: Maybe this time.
