Category: Flash Fiction Stories

Competitive writing adds a frisson of excitement to what is already interesting activity. Take for example, a theme, an item and a place and provide a mere 48 hours in which to produce a relatable story, and you have NYC Midnight Flash Fiction Competition for example.
A slower pace, and a friendly editor has helped me along at Flash Fiction Magazine. My unpublished and occasionally revised resulting flash fictions stories are provided below for your enjoyment. Feel free to drop me a comment if you enjoy them. or even if you don’t!
