I just flashed Chuck Wendig!
You can read the flash fiction Here . You'll have to scroll down a bit. Like, to the very end. I'm the 139th post.
I just realized something about the ending but, I want to wait until after the contest to pick it apart.
It was fun though. I suppose that if you're given a week to write a "Flash Fiction Story" you can actually take that time to write it. I didn't want to do that. I gave it an hour and even then I felt it took to long. But, my knowledge of sentence structure is extremely rusty. This was a great opportunity to practice what I was taught when I was a wee lass. Actually, my Language teacher in 5th grade was very adamant about not using the word "and" so much. Now it seems my "buts" are all over the place. Thank goodness for "however" or I wouldn't have been able to write that middle part of the story.
My words feel like caffeine today. Wonder if that has anything to do with the green Monster, coffee, and now the 20 oz Mt. Dew I just got from my mother in law.
Nah, it's the nervousness of the contest. I've entered drawing contests plenty. Even poetry contests when I was in grade school but nothing like this.
