Okay, so this isn't a flash fiction piece. It's a short story. Normally, I try to keep my Friday Flash Fics pieces around or below 1,500 words or so, but this story just kept going. The picture reminded me of an idea I'd once tried to work into a novella, about a house existing outside … Continue reading Friday “Flash” Fics — 9 a.m. Monday, Sharp

I liked the character, and I've always wanted to do more with him, but haven't had the opportunity until now. The List Clay didn’t feel comfortable in the bar, but … Continue reading Friday Flash Fics — The List
