Flash | Wake Up
Superfriends challenge – artificial intelligence by snatti89 on DeviantArt “Wake Up” Lola woke up with a start the same way someone wakes from a light sleep when an alarm rings. Sudden. Immediate. Except her body wouldn’t let her sit up. Wouldn’t let her stretch. Everything felt cold and numb. Disconnected. Far away. Lola continued to […]

Flash | Out of the Page
A Fierce Imagination by Jennalee Auclair “Out of the Page” The television blinked to black with an electric sizzle and the static of power lost. Percy’s eyes blinked as he worked moisture in his mouth and after a short beat realized someone had turned off the television. He looked around as if searching for a […]

Flash | Lost & Magic Found
JRPG tavern flipside by basakward “Lost and Magic Found” Laurence spilled into the Leaky Faucet, returning to the scene of the crime with the most damning redness on his hands… a pounding hangover. Light didn’t reach inside the Faucet. The watering hole banished sunlight, preferring low candlelight. The more depressing the better. The less someone […]

Flash | Clockwork Ambush
retired by totorrl on DeviantArt “Clockwork Ambush” Rayna walked the streets overwhelmed by the sights and smells of a world not her own. Unfamiliar and foreign, panic rose in her chest like an overinflated balloon ready to pop. Smothering her. Making it hard for her to breathe. She stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, […]

Flash | Only She Can See
Disciple by ZERG118 on DeviantArt “Only She Can See” Shania’s mother didn’t notice when she slipped her hand away. Her mother continued to speak to someone she’d recognized. An old friend. Grownups tended to talk-talk-talk until children like Shania were background noise. They’d come out of Pada’s Boutique and literally run over the lady after […]

Flash | Now What?
D’Ni by MattRhodesArt on DeviantArt “Now What?” Beauregard Saintclaire gazed proudly out at the magnificence he’d discovered. Ignoring the sweat sliding down his face. Soiling his doublet. At his feet Crush lay sprawled across the ground, exhausted, arms flung out dramatically, legs limp as noodles and refusing to lift him. The heat pressed down on […]

Flash | Prayers Answered
Beacons by MichaelBills on DeviantArt “Prayers Answered” Shahabit’s eyes bore down upon Sol like boulders crushing his chest. Appropriate since the statue’s eyes were carved from stone, as was the god’s entire visage. Each was no larger than his teenage hand but the importance worshipers placed on every image of the god seemed heavier than […]

Musings | Inside My Head… Scary
I live inside my head. Before I ever decided I wanted to create stuff I was already living inside my own head, fed by imagination and escapism. Walking down the street. Sitting watching a movie or TV. Reading a book. Taking a shower. Driving to the store to pick up milk. My mind is always […]
Flash | Beating Heart
“Beating Heart” Tasia woke when her heart began beating outside her body. She clutched her chest frantically. Felt the breath leave her body. She gasped. Unable to catch her breaht. Only when she felt her heart inside her chest did she realize she could still breath. That she felt her heart. Thump. Thump-thump. Thump. But […]

Flash | Where Are You Friend?
Hide and Seek by Artsammich on DeviantArt “Where Are You Friend?” Travis felt lost. The trees stretched to the sky, gripping the sun and blotting out the light. The trunks seemed endless. Row upon row. Crowding. Suffocating. All looked the same to Travis. He was breathless as he came to a halt. Hands on knees. […]
