Entry in to the 80 word flash fiction contest
The Riddle ...
by BlueJamme
“So, for £100, tell me … what’s greater than God, more evil than the Devil; all the rich want for it; all the poor have it; and if you eat it, you die.”
Patrick mused the riddle his friend, Derek, had posed.
The five Minutes he had to solve the riddle quickly passed.
“Time’s up! So …?”
“… I’ve got nothing.” Conceded Patrick, defeated.
“What?”
“I said I’ve got nothing. You win”
“Damn it!” shouted Derek, “Actually, you win. That’s the answer.”
