Flash Fiction Friday – By Fire

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

Flash Fiction Friday – Theories

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

Flash Fiction Friday – Broken Sky

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

Flash Fiction Friday – Two years too far away

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

Flash Fiction Friday – Death Words

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.

Flash Fiction Friday – The Witching Hour

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.

Hope you enjoy Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – The Witching Hour

Flash Fiction Friday – Hunter

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

Flash Fiction Friday – One O Too Many

It’s Friday! Happy Friday! I actually have flash fiction today. As so often, this one is based on a prompt.

Flash Fiction Friday – Re-burial

I didn’t have anything particular in mind for tonight’s flash fic piece, so I used a random prompt generator. This is the prompt it gave me: “I stand by the graveside. We are burying Uncle Eric. Again.” I just sort of ran with it. Enjoy! Re-burial I stand by the graveside. We are burying Uncle Eric. Again. Ever since the Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Re-burial

Flash Fiction Friday – New Shiny

Going a bit meta with today’s piece. I saw a prompt to write something set and a train and this was just what came to mind when I started typing. New Shiny Her favorite part was when the train pulled out of the station. It always was – that feeling of the acceleration in her gut, the slight vibration, the Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – New Shiny
