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

Friday Flash Fics — “Kissing Frogs”
Today's Friday Flash Fics sort of hung around in my head for the week without doing much, and then a discussion earlier today reminded me how important it was to remember queer friendships in fiction, and I ended up wondering what Grayson would be up to these days, and "Kissing Frogs" happened.

Friday Flash Fics — “January, 2019”
Today's Friday Flash Fics had me thinking of the ice storm/cold-snap/winder blast we just had (it knocked me on my butt for a few days worth of migraine) and how much I missed our escapes to Hawai'i in February.

Run Don’t think, just run. Don’t think, just run. Erwin chanted the words to himself, … Continue reading Friday Flash Fics — Run

Mark is a wizard-for-hire (if you know who to talk to) who deals with strange goings on and tries to stop bad people from doing bad things, and in "Last … Continue reading Friday Flash Fics — Aftershocks
Friday Flash Fics — The List
Happy New Year! Today's Friday Flash Fics shot made me think of the unnamed detective from "Keeping the Faith" (from Men of the Mean Streets). 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
