Flash Fiction Challenge: Things Fall Apart, The Center Cannot Hold

I have Yeats on the mind, today, so we return to the flash fiction challenges (hi! back from traveling!) with you writing a story based on that central theme of Yeats’ poem, The Second Coming, meaning this gem right here:

“Things fall apart; the center cannot hold.”

You will take this core idea, this theme, this argument.

You will write it into some flash fiction.

Length: ~1000 words.

Due by: November 3rd, noon EST (Friday).

Post at your online space. Link to it in the comments.

Go write.
