This month’s song fic was inspired by Ghost by Halsey. If you’d like, you can read the lyrics here and/or watch the video here. “What are we even doing?” Ryan sighed. “We’re trying to get some sleep because we have an early flight.” A car drove slowly down the street, its headlights bouncing around the […]
I actually like all of these traits equally, but since I numbered all the other posts, I prefer to stick with the pattern. 10.) Bookish – I like writing characters that are at home in a classroom or library and value learning…which is why I guess I’ve written a number of teachers and professors. 9.) […]
This story is a continuation of one that started with another flash fiction, but it should be able to be read as a stand alone. But if you’d like to read the whole thing, here are parts one, two, and three. At Eoin’s whispered curse, Hollis slowly turned, and her breath stalled in her throat. […]
So…it’s come to this. The halfway through the year goals check-in. Things aren’t…going as well as I’d like. These were my goals at the beginning of the year: Get a handle on the negativity that’s seems to be plaguing me. Do what I can to affect positive change in the world–even if they’re only […]
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, […]
Prompt: “Just call the police. No one has time for your Nancy Drew shenanigans.” It was only day one of an entire month with my Uncle Joe, Aunt Tami. Hell, I hadn’t even seen my cousins, Joey and Tiffany yet, and I already wanted to scream. I understood that my mom wanted me to have […]
How do I procrastinate…let me count the ways. 10.) Clean. If I need to do something I really don’t want to do, cleaning is a great procrastination technique. Granted, I’m just exchanging one hated thing for another, but that’s usually when my house ends up being the cleanest. 9.) Surfing stock art sites. I’m embarrassed to admit how […]
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 […]
Any time a politician betrays the ideals of our nation, (points if you heard that in Daveed Diggs’ voice) the app updates with one of those annoying little red numbers. In order to make the number go away, you have to open the app and hit the eject button. This jettisons the greedy, self-serving, treasonous […]
This month… I am so done with it, and I don’t even know where it all went. Much of it has been lost to stress, anxiety, and depression. This does not make for good goal fulfillment. Let’s take a look at the goals I set for May, shall we? Revise and re-release at least one […]
