Today’s flash fiction was inspired by one of my favorite Mumford and Sons songs, Ghosts That We Knew. Here’s the song if you want to have a listen, and here are the lyrics. The late evening sun sank lower, barely peering through the treeline as I sat next to the pile of recently overturned earth, […]
Flash Fiction
Tansy’s cell phone vibrated, and she pulled it out of her pocket. After reading the text, adjusted the countdown clock. This was it. It was really happening. They were going to do it. Nervous excitement built in her stomach making her feeling vaguely nauseated as she laid out her supplies in the middle of her living […]
This month’s song fic is When the Wind Blows by The All American Rejects. Here are the lyrics and the video if you want to give it a read and/or listen. I stood in the middle of the living room and stared at her. She was playing with the dog. It was always […]
“Maddy!” I hollered. “C’mon! We have to go now!” I stopped moving to to listen. There was nothing. Well, there were a few birds singing somewhere in the distance, and the scrabble of claws against rough bark. But there was nothing to tell me which direction my little sister had headed.

Okay, so this month’s song fic was chosen by our resident Canadian and number one Nickelback fan. The song is What are You Waiting For? Here are the lyrics and the video. Through the open door, Molly stared at what she’d been convinced was the answer to her prayers. It was all there in front […]
It’s time for another photo flash fiction, and I have a feeling this one is going to be pretty short–partially because of the idea I have, and partially because of the million and twelve things I need to accomplish today because I’ll be out of town all day on Sunday when I usually start writing […]
This month’s post was inspired by Bush’s Glycerin. Here are the lyrics and the video. Thanks to Edna and her loathing of maraschino cherries, I rushed into room 406, bright red spots marring my scrubs and far later than I should have for the evening med round. “Hey there, Hector,” I said as I cleared the […]
I peered through a broken window in the once spectacular public museum. They were coming. Hooded cloaks and greatcoats hiding their identity as they walked along what had once been the portico to one of the most amazing libraries in the entirety of North America. It was hard to believe that only three years ago […]
