Raiding Party

The saga of the Kinter house continues. If you haven’t read my last two flash fiction pieces, you might want to check them out before wading into this one. (Be sure to read them in… Raiding Party

Make It Pretty

  • 4 min read

This story is a continuation of the flash fiction I wrote last week for Flash Fiction Friday, though this one has been written based on a prompt from the 500 Club. (If you haven’t read “those screams” yet,… Make It Pretty

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

Repercussions

Today, I’m headed back to Phlambler’s World for another go at 100-word flash fiction. Stories of this length–super short–are fascinatingly different to write. They are fun and quick, though quite challenging in their own way. Painting a scene of… Repercussions

In Hiding

I read the ridiculous news story this morning about Michigan state Rep. Lisa Brown who was reprimanded publicly and forbidden to speak for a day as a result of having said the word “vagina” during a session in… In Hiding
