The Name

  • 4 min read

I have mixed feelings about how this piece turned out. In my mind, Jonathan and Aramis are trying to accomplish something they believe (perhaps misguidedly) is good. However, I simply didn’t have enough space to… The Name

Leaving the Fold

  • 4 min read

Most of my flash fiction leans toward dark subject matter, but that usually means horror or suspense or fantasy. Today’s story is a bit different. I blame the prompt from the 500 Club and my… Leaving the Fold

Substitutions

It’s flash fiction time again, but I’m making a departure from the norm. This week I’m not using a prompt. Several of the sites I cruise for prompts weren’t updated when I sat down this… Substitutions

Of the Essence

Red Dead

  • 9 min read

This week’s flash fiction is a first for me. It tops 1,000 words. I’ve written stories much longer than 1,000 words, but this is the first I’ve published here of that length, and the first… Red Dead

The Killing Field

  • 2 min read

Here’s a quick bit of flash fiction, written for Phlambler’s World. A 100 word limit is much shorter than my typical flash fiction, but I felt like giving it a whirl. The rules are simple: 100… The Killing Field
