Writing when it happens

It was insanely early this morning (about 4am) and I’d been sorting through some Ray Bradbury anthologies when I had an idea and started writing.

The last few shorts I’ve started have been exactly that, just stuff I started then left in-progress.

This was different, it was a fully formed idea so I managed to write the whole thing with a few tweaks afterwards. I’m not exactly sure that the ending portrays what I want it to so I’m going to have to ask around my Facebook friends for a beta reader or two to see if they come up with my intended meaning or not on their own.

The chances are it’ll either be next months release or sent to one of the two flash sites that have already published me. (365 Tomorrows & Linguistic Erosion)
