Those Screams

  • 10 min read

I don’t know what to say about this piece of flash fiction. It is easily one of the darkest I’ve ever written. (If you’re squeamish, feel free to skip this one. I promise, next week’s… Those Screams

This week’s fiction post is a little different. First of all, while it’s not a particularly long story, it’s too long for me to consider it flash fiction. However, I am out of town today… Under the Bed

In Hiding

Azure

Here’s another 100 word flash fiction piece written for Phlambler’s World. After last week’s super-short story was well received, I couldn’t help myself and had to go back for another. Capping a story at 100 words… Azure
