Flash fiction piece

Hi everyone. Today is the first challenge for the Platform Building Campaign. We had to write a flash fiction piece, in 200 words or less and start with the phrase "The door swung open". Added challenges were to hit 200 words on the mark, and end with the phrase "The door swung shut". (I hit it 200 on the mark and ended with ending phrase. CHALLENGE COMPLETE!)

Here is what I wrote.

The door swung open and propelled me into the guy that I had just checked out. I landed smack into him and heard him say “hmrph” as he righted himself.

“I’m sorry,” I blurted out, feeling the color in my cheeks turn to a cherry shade. He turned around and looked at me, still a little startled. “The door,” I stated, like it explained why I had just barreled into him. He looked passed me at the door, as people continued to push in.

“It happens,” he said and turned back around.

I couldn’t help myself, I looked at his butt again, and by the swivel of his hips, I knew he had turned around. Oh my God, could this be anymore embarrassing?

His smile was wide, “You know I have never had to say ‘Eyes up here,’ to a girl before.”

My cheeks flamed brighter as I looked at him. I opened my mouth like a guppy, a few times. All words in my head refused to form a sentence. I was wrong, this got way more embarrassing than 30 seconds ago.

Without knowing what to do, I headed for the exit. And behind me, the door swung shut.

I actually think I could pop this into one of my novels. I think this is exactly what Ryder would do. :)

Wish me luck!
