Flash Fiction Fun

Welcome to this week's edition of #vss365 Flash Fiction. A fun way to get those creative synapses firing! My personal goal is to come up with something to each daily prompt but this week I disconnected from the internet and all it's shiny distractions for a long weekend and enjoyed writing with good old fashioned pen and paper! Though it means fewer vss prompt contributions this week, it should prove fruitful for my works in progress! Cheers!

Prompt word: ritual

She said that it would summon great power. To be careful how I used the #ritual lest I tread too closely to those who demand tributes and priests. Those who think themselves gods do not look kindly on lesser men and women making magic. But the village needed a miracle now.#vss365

Prompt word: atlas

The #atlas was old. It's creases were worn and fragile. My hand hovered over the delicate parchment as I marveled over the unexpected find. It had been forgotten. Shoved between the pages of an encyclopedia. I smile on in triumph at the treasure found within. I loved maps.#vss365

Prompt word: frantic

Her movements were #frantic. She flitted from place to place tearing up cushions and overturning furniture as she searched desperately for the thumbdrive. The information held therein could change the tide of war. Or it could doom them...if it fell into the wrong hands...#vss365

2-3-20

Prompt word: fantasy

I watch the wheatgrass sway in the gentle breeze and smile at the sky. It takes all my concentration to see this peaceful moment. My #fantasy has become so simple. Peace. Silence. Beauty in nature. All the things we lost when the darkness came. Now the air is fetid. #vss365
