So the song that was chosen for this month’s song fic is Angel by Theory of a Deadman. The lyrics are here, and the video is here if you want to have a go at it. Shoulders and arms aching, Angelica lugged the buckets filled with the thick, sloppy mud she’d spent the morning digging out of the […]
It seemed far too warm for the chick in black to be, well, entirely dressed in black. Black boots. Black leggings. Black jacket. Even her phone case was black. To be honest, she looked a little creepy dressed like a Hot Topic reject in the middle of summer. But what did I know? I was lucky […]
So, this month’s flash fiction is Sky High Honey by Matt Nathanson. I’d never heard before we went on our writers retreat, but Jonesie played it for me. Anyway, here are the lyrics and the video. “Hey…you okay, Tess? Tessa?” She didn’t answer him. But he hadn’t really expected her to. She wouldn’t even look […]
It’s another Photo Flash Fiction Monday. Being that it’s a holiday in the States, today, I’m not sure if anyone else will be posting. But here’s a quick short from me today. “We’ve arrived, Captain. There are no signs of life.” The intercom crackled, preceding his commanding officer’s response.”Are you sure we’re at the right […]
This month’s song fic is Little Heaven by Toad the Wet Sprocket. Two summers ago, the wonderful Kayleigh Jones and I went to Detroit to see one of our bucket list concerts – Counting Crows. (Laugh if you want, I will always love them – unapologetically.) And Toad opened for them, so that was especially awesome. […]
It’s photo flash fiction time again, and well…this is going to be a super short one. I’m in the midst of graduation party planning that, for an introvert like me, is a special kind of hell. But, enough whining – on to the story. Against her better judgment, Marnie had gone to the bonfire last […]
So, this month’s song is Far Away, and like most Nickelback songs, it’s one I hadn’t heard before writing this post. But, if you want to check it out, the lyrics are here and the video is here. Ellie sighed as she pulled pulled up in front of her apartment building. Nick’s car was still […]
This month’s photo fic is brought to you courtesy of this photo and the really long shower I just took. “Hey, what’s going on? You passed Mackie’s,” my mother said, twisting around to look at the party store behind us. Taking a deep breath, I counted to ten in my head and watched the windshield […]
This months’s song fic was inspired by Simple Minds’ Don’t You Forget About Me. Here’s the video if you’re feeling like reliving the 80s with me. And here are the lyrics. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t remember seeing the creepy clown head in the video before. WTF, Simple Minds?! That’s not okay! Anyway, here’s what […]
This flash fiction piece was inspired by my husband, my sister, DMs I’ve known, Shanna Germain, and…you know…this picture. What am I even doing here? This was a terrible idea. I shifted in the grungy, molded plastic chair and adjusted my messenger bag on my lap while surreptitiously glancing around the room. There were only a few […]
