Flash Fiction: Disco Fever by Mark Tulin @Friday Flash Fiction

Many thanks to Friday Flash Fiction for publishing Disco Fever.

"Later that day, I watched Saturday Night Fever with Barry. He looked foolish with a pompadour and a disco shirt." Excerpt from Disco Fever

Disco Fever, by Mark Tulin


"Why don't you spend more time with your brother, Louie?"

"Ma, all Barry does is watch Saturday Night Fever."

"You know your brother has problems."

"He's not my problem, Ma."

My family had a lot of guilt. Everything was about Barry's needs, regardless of how others felt.

Later that day, I watched Saturday Night Fever with Barry. He looked foolish with a pompadour and a disco shirt.

"No matter how often you watch this movie, Barry, you'll never be Tony Manero."

A dance scene appeared. Barry got up from his chair and did a split like his favorite actor.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you.
