I actually wrote this piece last week but didn’t finish it in time for Friday, so I decided to keep it for this week. It was inspired by another prompt from the Storytelling Collective’s Flash Fiction February, namely this Tolkien quote: “We are not bound forever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.” This Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Wrong Channel
It seems sort of appropriate that my return to Flash Fiction Friday should be stumbling and come out a day late, after how uneven it’s been for the last couple of years. But at least it’s here! This month I’m participating in Flash Fiction February, an event hosted by the Storytelling Collective. This year’s prompts are all Tolkien quotes and Continue reading Flash Fiction Fr-aturday – Amends
Gosh it’s been ages since I wrote flash fiction. But here’s a little thing, based on a prompt I made up for a challenge last year. Hope you like it. Home When the first frost came, footprints appeared by the apple tree. They came out of the thicket, two sets walking alongside one another and stopping under the branches of Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Home
It’s been a little bit since I wrote flash fic. This one is based on a prompt I came up with a while ago and stuck in a jar. Hope you like it! By Fire It wasn’t a very good haul. Good enough to get by, sure, but not good enough to buy herself a week of tending to the Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – By Fire
Gosh it’s been a while since flash fiction Friday happened, huh? This piece is based on a prompt (the first line) from ServiceScape.com, but I feel like I took it in a bit of a unique direction. Hope you enjoy it! Theories There had been many theories about how she had been murdered. The cops that were first on the Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Theories
I’m doing a thing this month on Mastodon I’m calling AdventPrompt, where every day I post a writing prompt (inspired, directly or indirectly, by my tea advent calendar). I am planning to keep most of the prompts for a rainy day, but this one caught me and as it is Friday I turned it into flash fic. Enjoy! Broken Sky Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Broken Sky
This flash fic piece was based on a prompt from Seventh Sanctum! Hope you enjoy it. Two years too far away The planet is my greatest betrayer. I have to see it that way, because the only other alternative is admitting that it’s my own body that is letting me down. With a life-expectancy of 87, I was supposed to Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Two years too far away
Today’s flash fic piece was based on a prompt from Seventh Sanctum! And yes, the title is a bad D&D pun. Death Words She was absolutely positive he would be speaking, and we all knew what that meant. A few years ago, we might have debated the issue, might’ve doubted what she said but by now everybody knew that Aunt Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Death Words
September really wasn’t a good flash fic month for me, but I’m hoping October will be different. It’s off to a good start at least. I quite like this little piece. It’s based on a prompt from the writing bot on my Discord (which you can find here to add to your own Discord if you’re interested!). Hope you enjoy Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Witching Hour
I used a prompt generator, a Discord bot called Writer-Bot, for my prompt tonight. The line was “I had never woken up in the middle of an impact crater before”. I changed it to present tense, and am pretty happy with the results. Enjoy! Hunter I have never woken up in the middle of an impact crater before. All told, Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Hunter
