The incident took place in front of the village pub on the town&#8217;s main square shortly before midnight, local time. The bullfighter was on his way home after having spent the evening at the pub, telling stories of his heroic acts in the bullring, when the bull attacked him from an ambush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bull escaped from the scene but was found later in the night in a field in the outskirts of the town. It is not known if the perpetrator and victim knew each other but there is suspicion that the crime was motivated as a revenge for the death of a close relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group book-ad has-text-color has-background\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#65aab1\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1348\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?resize=1024%2C1348&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Flash 52 \u2014 Cover by Ana Pi\u00f1eyro\" class=\"wp-image-1294 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?resize=228%2C300&amp;ssl=1 228w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?resize=778%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 778w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?resize=768%2C1011&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?resize=900%2C1185&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Flash_52.png?resize=500%2C658&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flash 52<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This piece of flash fiction appeared in the flash fiction collection Flash 52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoyed the story, we encourage you to support the publication by buying a copy of the book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Flash 52<\/em> is available as paperbacks from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/9935933741\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/flash-52-b-rkur-sigurbj-rnsson\/1127580259\">Barnes and Noble<\/a> and e-books from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Flash-52-B%C3%B6rkur-Sigurbj%C3%B6rnsson-ebook\/dp\/B077SXHPPW\">Kindle Store<\/a>,  <a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/flash-52\/id1318217780\">Apple Books<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/flash-52\">Kobo<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storytel.com\/in\/books\/flash-52-2028503\">Storytel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also support the author through <a href=\"https:\/\/patreon.com\/UrbanVolcano\">Patreon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/buymeacoffee.com\/borkur\">Buy Me a Coffee<\/a> or by rating the book on <a title=\"Flash fiction collection Flash 52 on Goodreads\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/36695952-flash-52\">Goodreads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/urbanvolcano.net\/en\/flash-52\/\" style=\"border-radius:50px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#000000\">book details<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A flash fiction by B\u00f6rkur Sigurbj\u00f6rnsson.
