OBITUARY by Alexandra Wolfe

Flash Fiction can be tough, but Alexandra Wolfe makes it look easy. “Obituary,” is the ultimate manifestation of The Darwin Awards. “Billy Ray Melnik (age 13)” has made his final blunder and his own DNA sits in judgment.

The story is about 110 words long, so don’t wait any longer, you could have had it read by now. If you need a little more coxing, here is a trailer voice over for the story:

In a time where stupidity threatens to water down humanities genetic pool, nothing is left to chance; everyone’s DNA has been hard wired to self-destruct. One lone teenager makes his final mistake.

Now, go read it: “Obituary”

Wolfe, Alexandra. “Obituary.” The Hive Mind, 2009
