Flash Fiction Fun

Another week brings another round of very short story writing warm-up!

2-2-20

Prompt word: sanity

I was on edge. My #sanity at stake. I was slipping and it scared me. We were all struggling through the trauma of the endless night and the demands of the denizens of the abyss. I shuddered as a taloned hand stroked my shoulder. A reminder that the nightmare wasn't over. #vss365

2-1-20

Prompt word: script

I looked down at the paper in my hand and sighed. The very thought of actually saying aloud what they had put into the #script this time was making me blush. I closed my eyes and searched for serenity. I was a goddamned professional. I could do this. ...Probably...maybe...#vss365

1-31-20

Prompt word: rosy

Her cheeks were #rosy. A soft and lovely hue. The cold air left trails with every exhale adding puffs of dragon breath to the falling snow. We ran through the gathering drifts like children chased by shadows and laughed as we tumbled headlong into the fresh snow. #vss365

1-30-20

Prompt word: extra

My plate was overflowing with the fragrant delicacies of the region. My smile widened when I saw them bring another tray towards our table. Alice's eyes were round as she watched. "There is no way we can eat even half of this!" "Don't fret. We'll give away the #extras.#vss365

1-29-20

Prompt word: tremendous

In 72 hours I would not exist. Not like this. Not this body, or this place. Everything would change in #tremendous ways. I was afraid. They said have faith. Believe. But it was not easy to face ones own destruction. I could accept that matter was never destroyed but this? #vss365

1-28-20

Prompt word: could

I #could have been a lot of things. I might have been great. Now there is no more time for wondering what should have been...

I gasp. I struggle...It won't be long now.

I hold the hand of a stranger as I lay broken on the sidewalk. It isn't fair. It doesn't matter. #vss365

1-27-20

Prompt word: adversary

He had always been my #adversary. From the moment that I first saw him, I knew. Today he would come to know it too. There would be no more displays of blithe ignorance. Of feigned surprise. I would expose him for the snake he was, and then they would take me seriously... #vss365
