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
My parents recently got an electric car, and I’m fascinated by how it doesn’t vroom as it approaches, it just sort of… sings. Like a space ship. So I wrote this. Runaway, Swept Away The street is quiet, the apartment blocks tall and dark and brooding. Haley shifts her weight from foot to foot, peering down toward the bend around Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Runaway, Swept Away
Wow, it’s been so long since I posted a flash fiction piece last. It isn’t even Friday but hey… I’m back! Hope you enjoy it. The Next Time I understand now. I always wondered, as a child, why people used to see fairies dancing across the misty fields and I never got to see any. But now I know. It Continue reading Flash Fiction Fr-aturday – The Next Time
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
Okay yeah, it’s Sunday but here we are. Today’s tiny piece is brought to you by Sims 4 and the Star Trek holodeck. Enjoy! Unreality Annalise swiped lazily through the gallery, not quite knowing what she was looking for but also knowing just what she was looking for. It was a “know it when I see it” kind of situation, Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Unreality
It’s not terribly uncommon for me to write flash fic based on my own dreams but today I’m coming at you with a twist – flash fic based on my spouse’s dream. A silly piece that I hope you enjoy! Is this your wormling? Amir was enjoying his entree and the fact that all of the people sitting near him Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Is this your wormling?
I felt like poking this idea from last week a bit more tonight, so here we are. Not as strong, I think, but I’m still enjoying dipping my toes into this character and seeing what I find. Not totally sure where this is going but we’ll see. Hunter pt. 2 I get to the village just before sundown. Village is Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Hunter pt. 2
Oh hey, it’s a flash fiction Friday post! It’s been a while, or at least it feels like it. This piece is inspired by my partner sleep-talking, and me being in a mood for the (perhaps) unexpected. Hope you enjoy! Dreams and Rebels “How’sa rebellion?” Jac and I shot each other a look over Cal’s snoozing, sleep-talking form. He mumbled Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Dreams and Rebels
Since I didn’t do my worldbuilding stream Sunday, I don’t have any fun tidbits of progress to share with you today. Instead, I want to talk a little about one of the hardest things about worldbuilding (especially if you’re new): where to start? There are a lot of different advice on this out there, and the advice I’m about to Continue reading Worldbuilding Wednesday – My Fundamental Questions
A lot of different media I’m consuming are touching on reincarnation and otherwise getting a new body right now, so here’s a little thing that popped into my brain.I really enjoy writing in this sort of style sometimes, letters or journal entries or that sort of thing. Hope you like it! Re: re: Just an October hello Dear Tuko, It Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Re: re: Just an October hello
