FFM - 1

Her clothes, they smell like him. Every other face in a crowd is him. She’s shaking cold. In sweat-slicked sheets, she’s still as a slab. If she rolls over, he’ll be there, heavy behind her. This maxed card in her pocket. It’s his name, not hers. This thing in her belly. His babe, not hers.

What Remains

Cicadas screamed around Frank as he jammed his shovel into the dirt, slicing through blades of grass and small roots.  He pressed down on it with his foot, a hiss forcing its way through his teeth.  He had to hurry. The earth was tightly packed; many footsteps had trod here, compressing the soil.  There was no marker, but he knew the spot well.  Around him were weathered headstones of various sizes displaying various degrees of decadence.  He tried not to look at them.  Spanish moss hung from the oaks that dotted the cemetery, shielding him from the moon's cold glare. It was a hot and humid night and he could feel his shirt becoming soaked

Days (Short Story)

    The first day they met was an epic disaster.    Aleks cursed at the male barista behind the cash register for receiving the wrong coffee—decaf instead of his usual double shot espresso. He yelled so much that tears began to run down the young worker’s face before she appeared. In a flurry of wild red hair and jangling bangles, she swept the poor barista aside and stood firmly on the other side of the counter with a wide smile. “What seems to be the problem, sir?”    He yelled at her too.

Flash Fiction Month 2021 - News Depot

Flash Fiction Month is here, so we hope you're ready to get typing! This journal will be used to collect all the news journals, handy links and daily posts for FFM 2021, so if you want a quick reference for anything just check back here. Most of you are old hands at this, but in case you're new, here's a quick refresher on who we are and what we're about. "What is Flash Fiction Month?" FFM is an annual community writing event, run during the month of July, in which participants write one piece of flash fiction between 55-1000 words every day for a whole month. Like a bite-sized NaNoWriMo, but with a format for improving your craft, and a supportive community of writers giving you daily feedback and support. Each day we post prompts, and the occasional (optional) extra challenge, and though it may seem daunting at first, we guarantee you'll have a good time, meet some new people, and learn a thing or two about writing along the way! If you'd like a chance to stretch your

Wane

We, wax and wick, flickering in the new-moon night, are a sight for burning eyes, but boy, we can only melt for so long. So pinch out that flame; sleep and let the sun wake us.   We'll make the darkness long for our light.
