Flash Fiction Challenge: Ten Words Will Give You Five
Last week’s challenge: “They Fight Crime”
I’m going to a random word generator.
*does that*
There. It has chosen ten random words.
Those ten words are:
- Library
- Ethereal
- Dolphin
- Replay
- Undertaker
- Storm
- Envelope
- Cube
- Chisel
- Satellite
You will choose five of those words.
You will include those five aspects — not just as words but as actual components of the story — in your 1000-word flash fiction this week. As always: post at your blog or online space, then link back here so we can all read it. You’ve got a week. Due by Friday the 29th, noon EST.
Pick words. Write story. Go.

For this I chose cube, chisel, envelope, satellite and undertaker. (Despite trying really hard not to chose undertaker!) If there’s a main aspect, it’s cube; if there’s a guest aspect, it appears to be dreams.
At 523 words, I present Little Boxes: http://blog.icarusmortis.co.uk/2013/03/29/little-boxes/

I missed a couple weeks, but I’m back on the wagon now! Er, off the wagon?
I chose five words and got nowhere, gave the random number generator some work and ended up with four of the five I did not choose, made one substitution and used Envelope, Ethereal, Dolphin, Replay and Library to make “Second Chanced.”

Library, storm, envelope, chisel and undertaker.
Had a little trouble with the chisel–not really a significant element but it is in there. And the library is really more about the librarian.

undertaker, library, cube, dolphin and satellite
As always, something fucked up. The satellite. Now that was a tough one to invent, but really liked the things I did with these guys.

Again, a couple of hours late. In my defense, it’s not yet noon here. 😀
Undertaker, storm, envelope, satellite, and library. Here’s “Grave.”
