Flash Fiction
What is flash fiction? Flash fiction is a genre prized for its ability to convey deep truths and universal human emotions in just a few short paragraphs. When done well, flash fiction resonates with readers from all walks of life. I am using flash fiction writing prompts to challenge myself, get my head back in the game, and sharpen my thinking on the fly, so I can better focus on my novels. For my 'practice' I am limiting myself to 750 words and staying within the parameter of the prompt. Mainly because a lot of contests I have looked at use those guidelines. There will be no telling which story I will submit to a contest, I am just trying to post one a week here on the blog to see what you guys think, and mainly just to challenge myself in the event no one reads them. (lol) This one is a quick one with kind of a horror flavor, keeping with the theme of the month. Enjoy! :) The Queen The cold wind stung the side of Travis's face like ten thousand razor blades. From
