Flash Fiction: One Final Test
For my first flash fiction piece of 2014, I did not use a random writing prompt generator as I had originally intended. I had an image in my head of a castle beside the sea and went from there. I think it turned out rather well. -TRG Mora had guarded the castle for longer […]
