It's the February 2026 Furious Fiction this weekend. I wrote The Performance in February 2021. The story had to:

• Take place in a SCHOOL.
• Begin with the word THREE.
• And include the adjectives: MAGNETIC, UNCOUTH, SUSPICIOUS, and FLOWERY. ✍️

The Performance

Three minutes into the performance, I stifled a yawn. The acclaimed actor and playwright Barry Lazarus fixed a beady eye on me from centre stage.

If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost
