Flash Fiction - The Camera Never Lies

A 100 word story based on the following photo prompt

PHOTO PROMPT © TED STRUTZ



The Camera Never Lies 

I am beautiful, he is going to make me into a model. I swell with pride. If only my friends could see me now. A few unkind girls had called me ugly but now I knew they were lying.

He smiles while asking me to remove my bra. I feel uncomfortable at this suggestion. He notes my reluctance but reassures me it’s what models do.

‘There that wasn’t so bad,’ he says as he touches me. He shouldn’t do that.

He thinks I am fourteen. There are definite benefits to looking younger than my years. Mate, you are so busted.

Bettina x

    She's a cop. I can tell. What's funny is that I'm reading this story while "Moneytalks" by AC/DC is playing. It's like the music fits your story. Well done! ^_^

    Uncomfortable reading, I'm glad it finished on a note of defiance.

    Intriguing, I like how the outcome can be left to the reader's imagination. So she is either an undercover cop or a con artist who is going to end up blackmailing the unscrupulous photographer.

    "Mate, you are so busted." Great finish, Bettina. I like the way you have the girl gradually realise what's going on, and give her such a spirit of defiance.

    glad he was busted - but this also had a sad vibe as so many starry-eyed young gals get lured in - and so do young males -
    nicely written
