Flash Fiction Friday Challenge for 7-9-10

(Photo this week provided by Luna Mauvaise; original source unknown).

Your challenge for this Friday, 7-9-10, is to use the photo above to write a flash fiction of 48-148 words. Additionally, I'd like to see you use the following phrase somewhere in the submission:

"...driven, beaten, hammered..."

As usual, nobody's checking word counts, or for the key phrase (not really), but you only cheat yourself if you break the rules. Unless you're breaking them to earn a spanking....in which case, see me after class.

I am away on business this week and will be unable to make the rounds on Friday, so I'll be collecting the participant list when I return and posting it on Monday the 12th. As always, if you're planning on joining in the fun, please email me (insatiabear (AT) gmail [DOT] com) or leave a comment here. If you don't let me know you're playing, you might get left off, and nobody wants that. :)

Here's a button for you if you want to include that in your post. Use it to link back to the challenge post, if you like, or link to the Flash Fiction Friday FAQ if you'd rather do that.

Check back here on Friday for my take on this pic (yes, I have one scheduled), and then again on Monday for the list of participants, and the next FFF challenge! And as always, if you have any photos or artwork you'd like to see used in an upcoming week, send them my way. Thanks to Luna Mauvaise for providing this week's.
