As others have mentioned, these challenges tend to shake out surprising nuggets from dark corners of my mind. “Twisted Love” led me to a tiny bit of eroticism, wrapped in a familiar cloak. “Come With Me to The Tree” …

I penned an homage to L.M. Montgomery, who is better known for light stories of girlhood, but who actually wrote a hell of a lot of gothic stuff about all the ways human emotions can get creepy. This is right up her alley:

Very moving

A glass of wine for courage and 599 words later, and I’ve written a piece called Ardeur (A Twisted Valentine). Thanks for this. I look forward to more Flash Fiction challenges.

Barely two hours under the deadline. Way to forget to post, me. Here’s I Don’t Know Where I’m Going.

I welcome constructive criticism.
Wrote and posted this last night, but forgot to put the link here. (Tough getting good help.) One of those weeks where I had no time and no opportunity to come up with an idea, so hand the reins over to the muse and hope the page isn’t empty when It’s over. It’s a weird result, but i liked it.

Gorgeous! This is one of my favorite entries. I’d probably vote for it over mine, and I like mine a lot, lol.

Aw geez. I think someone was chopping onions at m desk again.
Sorry ’bout that. (Well, maybe not, but the kind words are much appreciated!)
That was lovely. Not very twisted, but lovely!
Thanks, Rebecca!

I didn’t get this one in on time; but, I did come up with a story that I’ll rework for submission. So, there’s that. Thanks again for always doing these.
It’s never too late for the Wendig Challenges 😀

My attendance in these challenges are spotty at best and I think I am failing my all my get-it-in-on-time classes. But let it not be said I didn’t do the job this time, just stick me in detention for being late. Again.

I don’t know quite what to make of that, but it was gripping.
