Flash Fiction Phrase Scene – Tits Up

Hi,

This week’s phrase scene came to me while I was sitting outside waiting on someone and a plane came in for a landing at our small airport. Kind of an odd place for this one to arise, but I’d been having a bad day and had a major headache.

Hope you enjoy this week’s scene.

Mom always said a good day could go tits up in a matter of seconds. She was right that day, not only mine, but the entire worlds. No one knew why or how it happened. All they knew was when. Life as a whole came to a complete standstill. Lights went out. Air clogged with dust, leaves, and trigs. Water sources froze, or in some areas dried up. Satellites fell from the sky, destroying all paths of communication. People invaded their local churches.

Faithful and hardcore believers screamed, “The Lord is returned.” Others begged to be saved from the burning flames of hell. Then there was those who decided to gather and hoard items that would be needed in the future, anyway possible. Looters took to breaking glass to invaded local and chain wide stores. Of course, there were people who believed it best to eliminate those weaker than them, increasing the worlds already high murder rate.

All of these were reactions everyone should have expected. Most people were crazy when a disaster hit them. Me I threw up my heads and said, “What is wrong with everyone? Have they never heard of a day going tits up?” He sure had, but . . . That day sure took the icing of a huge chocolate devils food cake.
