Fandango is our host for his flash fiction challenge, here is what he says about it!
Welcome to Fandangos Flash Fiction Challenge. Each week I will be posting a photo I grab off the internet and challenging bloggers to write a flash fiction piece or a poem inspired by the photo. There are no style or word limits.

The image below is from Victor Moriyama at the New York Times.For the visually challenged writer, the photo shows people seen in individual units through the large windows of a multi-unit apartment building.

If this weeks image inspires you and you wish to participate, please write your post, use the tag #FFFC, and link back to this post. I hope it will generate some great posts.

Thanks to all of you who have participated in these challenges. Your posts have been very creative. Please take a few minutes to read the other responses to this photo challenge.

The apartment complex was brand new, the apartments had just been given out. No one knew anyone else who lived there.
Sam could see his apartment from the road. He tried to walk a little faster to get home from work quicker.
All of a sudden he heard a shrill scream!
He looked up. Loads of people were standing at their windows now. Where had the scream come from?
Suddenly he heard it again!
Help, help, help!
He looked up at the large complex, and then he saw her, his wife, at their bedroom window, quick, she screamed, someone help!
The apartments on fire!
With that sam grabbed his phone to call the emergency services.

    On the bright side, at least he won’t get the blame!
