This is my entry to the second round of the NYC Midnight’s Flash Fiction 2019 Challenge. A yearly competition for writers from around the world (over 3700+ of them) to create a 1000 word short fictional story in 48 hours based on 3 random prompts – a genre, a location and an object.

The Old World
Another writing prompt courtesy of Carrot Ranch’s weekly Flash Fiction Challenge. This week, write a story about “old world charm” in exactly 99 words. No more no less.
Fiction
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
This is a short story (<1000 words) for a competition organised by Michele Sagan and Robert D. McAdams. I’ve gone with sci-fi, which seems to be my flavour of the week. This is my first attempt at injecting some humour into a story. I wouldn’t call it a knee-slapper but hopefully it at least entertains.
Fiction
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Another week, another writing prompt courtesy of Sue Vincent’s #writephoto – Destination. What is the destination at the end of this misty leafy avenue?
Fiction
A Time to Live
I love a good writing prompt and Sue Vincent’s weekly #writephoto – Aflame inspired me to knock up this homage to the late Rutger Hauer who sadly passed away last week, RIP.

Flash Fiction Challenge – A Song of Fire and Mints
A big thanks to FracturedFaith for his regular Flash Fiction Challenge, a fun opportunity for would-be writers to test their mettle by writing a short piece around an inspirational topic. This week, inspiration is the attached till receipt, genius.
