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
So many effs. I wrote this yesterday (also not a Friday, hah), but forgot to post it. It’s set in the same world as one of my WIPs but not actually related to the story. Hope you enjoy it! Felled As soon as the bolt left the bow, Elker knew it would find its mark. It buried itself deep in Continue reading Flash Fiction… Funday? – Felled
We’ve been watching The Rings of Power so here’s a little elfy snippet. Hope you enjoy! That’s No Elf! The thing about Elves is that they’ve always frightened me a little. Not the way that wolves and their slavering jaws frighten me, or the way that lightning does. No, the way that the waters that fall from the Cliffs of Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – That’s No Elf!
Seems like all my flash fic pieces are based on dreams lately. Well, this one isn’t so much based on a dream, as vaguely derived from one. Hope you like it! Later Her hand tightens around her staff and she quietly gets to her feet, drawing herself up to her full height in the shadow of the trees. The campfire Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Later
Flash fic! Yay! I feel like I’ve written something very similar to this before, but I haven’t had time to dig into my archives to find out so I’m really not sure. Hope you like it! Claw Marks She looks at herself in the mirror, and finds three marks, the palest of pink, drawing a soft curve from her hairline Continue reading Flash Fiction Friday – Claw Marks
