The Icon of the Fool


It's flash fiction again this week as "The Icon of the Fool" is completed and submitted for the Fiction Writers Group Flash It! anthology, this year on the subject of clowns.

My submission doesn't strictly contain a clown, more like the essence of a pagan fool, but hopefully this doesn't preclude it from getting published.

It's the story of an unnamed man and his wife Marie, and we join them at the possible break-up point in their marriage. They take a trip back to the woods of their youth, and stumble upon a wooden figure of a jester...
