Flash Fiction
A flash fiction piece to start your day. Enjoy!
From the mountaintop, Sven shook the last of the ashes from the urn. He stood with a mouthful of regret.
Regret that his mouth was open when a perfectly-timed squall came up the side of the mountain.
EWWWWWWWWWW! BUT OMG THE DARKNESS! I love this! In two sentences, you got me hooked, chilled and completely engaged. Also, I had no idea what flash fiction was until I read this, so thanks for the introduction 😛
Yay! I’m glad you liked it. Glad I could traumatize you for the day. Flash fiction has a bit of a range from 6 words up to about 1,500 words. I just recently started dabbling in it, and I like trying to focus an idea into a tight space.
It sounds like a challenge- I might give it a try someday.
