Friday Flash Fiction – Into the Heart of Will
You can protest all you want, but it won't do you any good…
I'll show her. Charlie flipped then brought the Bowie butt end down. "Won't do you any good," he repeated aloud, the slight comment burning his already dry tongue. Three hammers and a couple twists crushed the tablets into fine powder. "I'll be damned if that bitch thinks she can stop me."
The pen's guts emptied out easy enough. Charlie let them fall to the floor as he lowered the casing, burying it in white powder. Nostril over the ...

Friday Flash Fiction — Forsaken
How apropos, the nineteenth floor ledge on the verge of his nineteenth birth date, he stepped up and wobbled. Perspiration and tears, trickled evenly along his chiseled face. He caught his balance, the once stunning blue of his eyes dulling grayer with each spent tear. Just do it . . . .
Perched less than a shoulder's width away, I listened in on his thoughts. Pain and confusion engulfed him, inflamed his need, or so he thought. My shoulders tight, my feathers flared, with a stretch and a...

Aspirations, Milestones, & Dreams…
I know, I have them, even if unrealized. For example, when I learned that my book, PULL, had been read and reviewed by The Victor J. Banis, I shook, then I shouted. I can only guess, judging by my reaction to the news, that being thought of as a writer worthy enough to grace Mr. Banis' eyes, mind, and heart must have been some kind of unknown milestone to me. Much like the other day, when a review of PULL appeared on Jesse Wave's blog–yet, another moment of sheer excitement. At least, for...

Friday Flash Fiction – Negotiating Texas
Negotiating Texas by Bryl R. Tyne
(excerpt from a WIP)
Wasn't the wisest business decision I'd ever made. Every other day, stretching my lunch hour into two had become a necessity of late, though. Better to avoid stress causing incidents than risk the fluctuations in blood pressure. Dr. Canton assured me, my health would benefit if I recognized and stepped away from situations that all but got my panties in a twist. Panties . . . may be the leverage needed to wheedle information out of one...

Friday Flash Fiction – Coin Op Boy
Coin Operated Boy Copyright 2009 Bryl R. Tyne
(unedited excerpt)
His eyes opened to darkness. With a simple command, he adjusted his vision to the lack of light. Cold and empty shells, once full of life, were crammed, shoulder to shoulder, front to back, on every side. Twisted together, some skinless others not, disembodied limbs, wires and diodes hanging, filled the pocketed openings amongst the ruins. Starting with his toes, he wiggled each in turn, meticulously checking the connections from...

Friday Flash Fiction – Never
Never by Bryl R. Tyne
He lingered near the street lamp, at the back of the crowd of many. Onlookers, some curious others watching with their discerning stares, waited for me to make a mistake. Sure, I was capable of messing up, blowing my cover. I'd done it more than a dozen times before. Of course there was a reason I kept moving, roaming town to town, place to endless place. Never would I be accepted…not with my flaws. But I would not screw this up tonight. I couldn't. He was here. At the...
