Shorts and very shorts

I have written four short stories since we arrived in Whitland. Well two of them were very short for a flash fiction competition.

I have finally got out a couple of stories that have been lurking for a long while on the edges of my imagination. The first is about an Anglo-Saxon warrior with a mysterious wife; the second is about a painter and his apprentice, it's set in a great city and has a fantasy twist in the tail.

I enjoyed writing the flash fiction; two hundred and fifty words is a very challenging limit. One of these was inspired by very sad recent news, the other just by my long-standing admiration for crows.

I'd recommend writing 250 word stories to anyone, it doesn't take too long and can only be good for creativity. Here's a link to a site that might help get you going:
