“You’ll be famous!” She kissed my forehead before running through the sand. Her tan legs led way to the cut-off blue jean shorts she wore.

TheContinue reading “For Always – FB-FWG 300-word short story based on the picture below. Triggers: Suicide”

Been sick this week but I wanted to participate. “Did you tumble the paint in stone to give it this look?” Ralph Sizemore asked about the house as he gathered his long, stringy, dirty blonde hair into a ponytail. He stepped out of his limo and adjusted his ear piece. The brown leather front doorsContinue reading “Levi Strauss – 300 word flash fiction. FB-FWG”

The festival brought many people. Everything in bloom; beautiful foliage covered the mountain-top resort. Triangular cabins were built to suit the name given by original dwellers; Three-Corner-Crown had a meaning oblivious to most. Shops filled with patrons, women laughed while swiping their husband’s credit cards, children ran amuck, and men sat on fish banks weighingContinue reading “JOHN 3:16 – FB/FWG 300-word flash fiction based on the picture below.

She skipped at least seven pages of her notebook before each writing in hopes no one would ever read her thoughts. The average person wouldn’t thumb through a journal titled Algebra II should it become lost. She sat in the center of her Holly Hobbie covered twin bed, crossed her legs, unzipped her backpack, andContinue reading “My Sisters Keeper – FB-FWG 300 word flash fiction based on the picture below.

Born on St. Patrick’s Day, my cousin Benny was cursed, he became socially awkward, and it wasn’t his fault. Every March 17th, momma made us attend the dreaded birthday celebration in his honor. My Aunt Trina would place green Irish caps on our heads as soon as we walked through the door. Shamrocks hung fromContinue reading “Pin the tail on the Donkey – FWG-FB-300-word flash fiction based on the story below. No triggers.”

A Moment in Love Elizabeth opened the tiny wooden music box, a present from her husband on a birthday she wouldn’t remember. “Who would’ve thought we would make eighty-seven.” He said, having himself hit the milestone a month ago. His wrinkled hand slowly turned the metal crank attached to the device. The swollen redness aroundContinue reading “A Moment in Love- FB-FWG- 300-word flash fiction based on the picture below.

My SUV travelled over the bumpy deserted terrain…. I pulled up to find him caressing a wooden post with one leg straddling the wobbly pole of the rundown shack. He pretended to dance. I honked the horn and laughed, such a jokester.  The glow from a meticulously carved Jack-O-Lantern caught my attention. I was startledContinue reading “Romantic Getaway- FB-FWG 300 word flash fiction based on the picture below.”

Jacob Cantrell was the first to class, never disruptive and could solve any equation I threw his way. He sat in the back, closest to the window. He’d groan like an old man when he slid into the chair, and he didn’t as much as blink when the sun hit his eyes. He’d stare outContinue reading “Great Minds – FWG-FB 300 word flash fiction based on the picture below. Triggers: Depression/Suicidal Thoughts”

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. My mind steps out into the darkness, a downward path leading nowhere. The light shines just enough so I can see my feet before me. I take each step carefully, counting aloud as I go. Uno. Dos. Tres. Cuatro. Wait…. I can’t remember how to say five in Spanish.
