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).

All told, Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Hunter

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
