It’s time for another song-inspired flash fiction, and I have the feeling that everyone is going to hate me for picking this song, because it’s depressing as fuck. But whatever. I like songs that are depressing as fuck. This one is called Family by Noah Gundersen. Here’s the link if you want to hear it. […]
What the hell was I doing? Standing outside the blue double doors, I double checked the address scrawled on the back of an old, Victorian style calling card. It was yellowed with age, but the creepy disembodied hand holding a bouquet of brightly colored roses was still visible. On the back of the card, someone […]
So…this is a continuation of the last flash fiction, and it’s inspired by the Death Cab for Cutie song, I Will Possess Your Heart. “Show time,” I whispered. Harper stiffened slightly in my arms and shifted her grip on the wooden stake in her hand. I hated to let her go, I like having […]
Elliot glowered at me, but I ignored him as best I could. It wasn’t easy since we were currently facing each other in the middle of a moonlit path and staring romantically into each other’s eyes.

So, this week, someone picked a Nickelback song. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t me. I was having a lot of trouble with this piece, because the The Hammer’s Coming Down wasn’t speaking to me.

This week’s flash fiction is inspired by one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands – Angels of the Silences by Counting Crows. Though, I must admit, I prefer the live version to the studio album version. But, here are the lyrics and a link to the song. Well I guess […]
They watched as the woman open the backdoor and a few windows of the fieldstone cottage. It wasn’t quite spring, yet, but humans hated to be cooped up almost as much as they did. “Did you see, sister?” Ivy hissed. “Humans are so stupid. It left the door open for us.” Tansy stared at […]
It’s another Flash Fiction Monday, and this week, we’re taking our inspiration from the song, I’m a Mess by Ed Sheeran. This is what I came up with. The sheet billowed up between us as we stood on either side of the bed—a rippling sea of blue and green paisley making the span of the […]
With the new year, we’re doing some new things. Wednesday Random posts will still be a regular feature as will Merlin Club until we run out of episodes – at which point, we’ll take a short break and move on to the next series. But we’re also including some new features – stretching our writing […]
