Flash Fiction
It's just a quick, half-hour or so flash fiction to help me ry and work on my writing. hence the cliché; i don't particularly need to worry about plot because it's already sorted. so. tada.
Teabagging
One moment, the city of New Chicago was enjoying a bright, sunny day, with a view far as the eye could see. The next, after a brilliant flash, the view was obscured by a white wall that stretched into the sky, with its top obscured by the...

Creative Writing Prompt #5: Not Yet
A change of pace from last week's flash fiction, and a very different tone. the constraints on this exercise were a bit of a challenge, but i think the scene works well with it all the same!
Creative Writing Prompt #6: Still At Large

Recursive Cycles
Recursive cycles cement their way into secluded lives ceaselessly expanding, enveloping all thought and action. People like you forgot how to live. Somewhere along the way you forgot to appreciate how the sky shifts as night falls or day breaks, the...
Hurt
This is a punch to the gut, no, a gunshot wound to the head. How long had you been fucking him before I found out? The white hot ire I feel strips away your puppy-dog eyes. You're no puppy, I'm not falling for it. You total bastard. All those times...
