Flash fiction: “Tonight Is the Night”

Betty Wright in 1973

“Tonight Is the Night” is a very early flash fiction piece, written when I was an undergrad who newly discovered and fell in love with short-short story collections such as Flash Fiction: 72 Very Short Stories and Sudden Fiction: American Short-Short Stories. This story is a mix of fact and fiction about the trauma of attempted first PIV intercourse, and it’s named after a great song by a great songwriter, the late Betty Wright.
