Last week’s challenge: “Twisted Love“
This week’s challenge is simple enough.
Take a random song (use iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, etc. to accomplish this).
That random song’s title is now the title of your short flash fiction.
Now: write that flash fiction. Once again: 1000 words. Any genre will do. Post it at your online space, link back here in the comments. Due by next Friday, February 28th, noon EST.
That’s it. Whaddya waiting for?

I can’t recommend using the track length (2:35 min) as the word count (235 words) enough. This is a writing exercise I have used many, many times.

“When I Change Your Mind” by the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies started swing-dancing with all of the Netrunner I’ve been playing lately, and this is the result. http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/2014/02/24/flash-fiction-when-i-change-your-mind/

I have a quick question. Can the story be up to 1000 words or 1000 words period?

I’m late, aren’t I? I am. Sorry, my computer crashed & it took me a while to find where the computer auto-saves too. Well, three days ago. I suck. I also got Kanye West’s “Bound 2”, which is weird, but anyway – here:

My Boy Builds Coffins – Florence and the Machine.
Works. This song always makes me feel disjointed. Let’s see if I was able to transfer that.

I’m on the road in Texas, but Chuck keeps telling us, “THERE ARE NO EXCUSES FOR NOT WRITING!!” so here it is. My song was Sugarland’s “Down In Mississippi,” which I of course twisted around into something completely different. As one does. As always, comments and constructive criticisms are welcomed.

Here’s mine, just in time, I’d wager – I used the Regurgitator song Young Bodies Heal Quickly and tried to write some military sci-fi, for a change (and a challenge.) Let me know what you think of Young Bodies Heal Quickly
