CW: Domestic violence, murder Because of the nature of this prompt, it will appear in bold as it occurs in the story rather than at the beginning like usual. “Just come meet him, Molly. He’s nice, I swear. And besides, Mark will vouch for him.” Molly rolled her eyes. “That’s the same thing you […]
It’s time for another photo flash fic, and this one made me laugh as soon as Jess and I stumbled across it. “I’m serious, Mark. I’m this close to just walking out and never coming back.” He took a sip of his coffee, his expression placid. “That’s what you said last week.” “It’s even truer […]
Don’t panic…you’re in the right place. I just did some remodeling over the weekend. What do you think? Anyway, on to the post. This month’s song fic was inspired by “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence and the Machine. You can read the lyrics or watch the video and listen to the song. Or both. […]
Prompt: “Take a step closer to me and I swear to God, I’ll drop this cake! I’ll do it! Don’t test me!” From the corner of her eye, Laura watched her older sister, Katy, slowly navigate the perimeter of the room, mingling with the twenty or so guests who’d chosen to spend their Saturday here, in […]

She quit fussing with the ribbon and lifted her […]
Today’s flash fic song is Flaws by Bastille. Here are the lyrics and the song. Despite the cold, damp weather, the minister at the graveside service droned on and on. It was almost as if he were part of her grandfather’s habit of making his descendents as uncomfortable as possible. Clutching a small stack of […]
Prompt: “No, I said we were safer, not safe.” “We should be safer up here. Did you make sure all the doors and windows are locked?” Mark nodded. “I covered all of the windows, too.” “Good.” Rowan pushed her hair off her face and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her forearm as she […]
Gwyndon had no idea how she’d ended up at the pond again. It didn’t seem to matter when she decided to go for a walk or where she was when she decided to go. She found herself on the shore of this same body of water every single time. It was as if her conscious […]
