Friday Flash Fiction
What’s it all about then?
Just a bit of fun really. The talented science fiction writer Gareth Lyn Powell (GLP) came up with the idea and a bunch of us, not above jumping on a well crafted bandwagon, joined in. The idea was to post a piece of free flash fiction every Friday. All of this originally appeared on my first blog over at wordpress.com.
For me it was a way of ensuring I wrote something every week. You can read some of GLP’s thoughts on Friday Flash Fiction and other matters over at SciFi.uk.com

I sort of liked this the idea s that went into the plot were very good. I liked the mage and I liked his atitude. I just thought your warrior was kind of flat. He made it this far but it seems with guile or cunning. He could have used a little of both, however, entertaining

I can’t wait to read some of your stuff, from your blog you seem like a good writer.

Thanks Kirby Ann. And well spotted, this is of course as a result of my using a time machine in order to fit my last few FFF entries in…honest
Fixing it now.
interesting, time machine hu? Can you take me back to the 1960′s? I always wanted to meet Jim Morrison

I Come Here to Destroy!
New fiction from the hinterlands.

Sit in the car and watch them load it up. Probably hate me by now. As though I’m faking it or something. There; she just shot an evil in my general direction.
Moving the eyeballs is okay, just about. The neck though, is not. Like it’s been frozen in its place; icy crystals piercing the sinew and flesh, stretching the nerve endings until they shriek their pain signal to the brain. But no; must be faking that.
And there’s my feet. Been numb ever since.
So I couldn’t go on their precious walks or anything.
It’ll be fun at the airport though. It’ll be fun when they have to push me onto the plane in a wheelchair.
Never been in a wheelchair before.
