Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #9 – The Idea Nexus

I can’t say I’m liking the new premise restriction. I’ll stick it out for the next three weeks, just in case this last week won’t be the standard, but at this point, I doubt it will last longer than that. Title: The Idea Nexus Premise: A group of friends on a 9 day cruise notice the […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #7 – Two Miles Later

It’s here, finally, and it’s short. That’s all I have to say about that really. Title: Two Miles Later Genre: Thriller Dialogue: “911, what is your emergency?! Oh, it’s you …” Technical: You should write the story from the perspective of someone watching a camera feed and relaying instructions. Stay tuned for next week’s restrictions tomorrow. Hopefully this one […]
