I can’t stop flashing you.


I’m sorry to overwhelm you with my incessant flashing, but I wrote these a bit back and never posted. Get comfy and prepare yourself to be entertained or bored to death. Either way, you might be at your computer longer than expected. These were submitted to the M3 Flash Challenge (Flash in the Pan) Winter… Read More I can’t stop flashing you.

Flash in the Pan: Happiness


I met my best friend while putting out a fire, or so I thought. Smoke was coming from my neighbor’s cellar. I ran over and felt the door. It wasn’t hot, so I figured I could handle it and be a hero. Their hose was nearby. I went over, turned it on, threw the door… Read More Flash in the Pan: Happiness

Flash in the Pan: Lonely


That day will stay in my brain forever. I was outside in the yard helping mom with the garden. I heard this loud backfire, like a gun or something. It made me jump. Then a crazy looking hippy-van pulled up next door. Smoke was coming from the hood and there was music loud enough to… Read More Flash in the Pan: Lonely

Flash in the Pan: Book


After leaving his family, Charlie came home to only a note. Charles, Thanks for getting milk. It would’ve been nice if you brought it back before you left. Don’t worry about the kids or feel guilty.

Flash in the Pan: “Finish Line Crawler”


Word: IDEA (150 word max) Mr. Wolf was a real bully. He didn’t have any friends, and his family disowned him. Supposedly, he ate some old lady in the next county over, which isn’t frowned upon if one is starving, but it was a domestic dispute. There were rumors about her granddaughter and a restraining… Read More Flash in the Pan: “Finish Line Crawler”

Flash in the Pan: Vise/Vice


My wife just couldn’t accept the inevitable. Time moves on. We age and we grow. The twins were no exception. As much as she wanted them to stay their perfect and cute size, it wasn’t going to happen.  Time passed, just like I told her it would. New growth spurts occurred with every birthday, but… Read More Flash in the Pan: Vise/Vice

Flash in the Pan: Company


Through the window, the moon’s faint light shone in a corner of the room. There lay an elderly man upon a wooden bed. Death seemed to blanket him, except for the noticeable uplift of his chest every few seconds. His frail frame twitched and twitched again. His discomfort was quite evident by his unconscious motions.… Read More Flash in the Pan: Company

Absurdly Me:

I am a work in progress. Each time I think I'm done, I need another rewrite. I'm humorous, or so I'm told. And.....My birth defect is sarcasm. Love me or hate me. Here I am!
