333/365 Birds
They kept us company for several minutes, flying down the the path then back into the trees, always a few yards behind us until some cyclists came through and scared them off.
13 Flashers
There are some seriously cool people doing Flash Fiction these days. By Flash I mean the really short stuff people post on their blogs. Here are 13 I swiped from:
Ah Maria, How Can He Measure Up?
Sometimes history hands us the unhappy combination of a juvenile and selfish mind full of arrogance in a position of power. Woe betide the fool who challenges the worth of such an individual. Witness Marie Antoinette’s brother in action. Joseph considered the reputations of some of his peers in the “running an empire” business, and was not happy when he compared his own to theirs. What did they do to be considered “Great?” Catherine in Russia. Great Scot, the woman […]

Behind the Scenes of a Goddess’ Tale. For my story, Heart of the Warrior, I wanted a goddess who was both strong and passionate. Scáthach was the perfect choice. She was once mortal and was touched by the Tuantha de Dannan, giving her the status of goddess. She searches the battlefields for the souls of the slain and guides them to Tir Nan Og, the land of eternal youth and beauty. The warrior goddess also ran a school for young […]

Suzie’s House 168: A Rare Bird
She looked like a parrot with her hair streaked four different colors on top of blonde, including hot pink. It fluffed out all over the place because she was hanging upside down. Her foot had to be hurting from the rope tied around it. No wait. Was that a rope? Or a garden hose? The scary part was the way she didn’t seem to notice how bad she had it, just hung there with her arms folded across her chest […]
Testing
“Do you love me? How much? Will you come and see me even when I never visit you? Will you do me favors when I don’t have time for you? Will you prove your love, shower me with devotion, give me everything I want? Don’t you love me? Hey! Where are you going? You don’t love me at all.” The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is […]
