It’s time for another photo flash fic. I lowered my camera and stared at my sister. “Katrina…what the actual fuck are you doing?” “Posing,” she huffed. Sighing, I took a few shots. If nothing else, maybe I could use them for something. “Really?” Seth, my best friend muttered, next to me. “Those are the shots […]
This month’s song fic is based on “Slow and Steady” by Of Monsters and Men. Here’s the video if you want to give it a listen, and here are the lyrics. The cold wind blows harder, and I huddle in my coat, Spring is late this year. Every time I think it’s arrived, winter […]
It’s time for another Promptly Penned post–flash fiction that starts from a word prompt. The prompt will be in bold in the story. “Motherfucking piece of shit,” Lucy muttered, trying to untangle the thread that had pulled through the other side of the fabric, making it impossible to gather this portion of the ridiculously […]
Please welcome our newest member, Sarah Moore! She’ll be taking part in the flash fiction and promptly penned posts. Now, back your your regularly scheduled story.

We’re trying something a little different this month–an instrumental song. This one is called Patsheeva. It’s a traditional Romani song performed by Circa Paleo. And here’s a video if you want to see them playing it at a ren faire. Becca shifted in her bag chair and tried to scoot it closer to the […]
The prompt will be in bold in the story. Head pounding, Kat slowly blinked open her eyes and squinted, trying to make out her surroundings. It smelled a little like wet earth and moldering leaves. There was a bare lightbulb in a table lamp across the room–the wire of the bent harp cast odd, […]
Shivering, I reached out and traced the spiderwebbing cracks in my windshield, the pressure of my fingertip making the fissures spread with the tinkling sound of breaking glass. My mom jumped, startled by the sound, and turned away, burying her face in my dad’s shoulder. His arms came up around her, and he […]
This month’s song fic was inspired by The Cab’s “Angel with a Shotgun”. Here’s the video and the lyrics if you’d like to check them out. He watched them from his perch above the doors.
