Screw You Guys, I'm Goin' Home! by Vincent Spallino
Flash Fiction
screw you guys, im goin home!
It’s fairly simple, screw you guys, im goin home!
It’s an easy comment that seems to run through my mind multiple times a day. Home is where I seem to always want to be, because home is where I can just relax and be stress free. I don’t have to worry about being social, or looking decent, giving my attention, or being on my best behavior.
At home I can just lay down and be myself without anyone saying nuthin’! I’m also usually very tired, so dealing with people's B.S. on a day to day basis is just about the most exhausting thing there is. So sometimes I just want to say, “screw you guys, im goin home!”
I chose not to use any capitals in my six word story because I wanted it to seem out of energy, tired, exhausted. I feel it helps convey the message. Including a coma to me was important because it helps to pause in between the two statements. Within this pause there could be awkward silence, a sigh, just a dramatic pause, or time for the speaker to flip the bird to the receiver of this message.
Again, not using the correct punctuation in “im” is the same idea as not using capitals, as well as “goin”. The exclamation point is important however, because I want it to show the speaker is definitely frustrated and not just saying it to joke with their friends.
