This week’s challenge was a perfect fit to the second half of last week’s story. Here is The Muse ~ Part Two (Or How My Secret Gift Became Not-So-Secret.)

I hope you have an much fun reading it as I did writing it.

I should probably start a Nonsense Stories series based on things I come up with from writing prompts:

This was oddly fun to write!

Ha, that was a fun one. Nice job!
June 16, 2017 @ 1:48 PM
Thank you!

Wow. That was a wild ride. Fun to read and think through. Nothing made sense till the very end when suddenly it did and I felt like yelling, “Holy crap, the doors to my perception have been thrown open by this revelation!” It’s an incredible achievement to Shyamalan a story like this and pull it off so artfully. Well done!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

June 13, 2017 @ 2:48 AM
[…] This is the challenge. I had no idea where this story was going when I started it. It does remind me I want to get to this paranormal horror story I’ve had brewing in the back of my mind for ages. I wonder if I’ll ever get to it. […]
June 13, 2017 @ 2:50 AM
I went with Thorn of Prophecy. http://andreaspeed.com/2017/flash-fic-challenge-thorn-of-prophecy/
June 13, 2017 @ 2:41 PM
I took a run at Cleaning up the Ashes. This was actually quite fun.

A Year of Bodies sounds interesting. I look forward to posting this one!
June 15, 2017 @ 3:11 PM
I chose “A Year of Bodies” and came up with a scifi short story in a gender-shift future:

Here is The Nobody.

Nobody knows what you did…
June 16, 2017 @ 1:38 PM
That was interesting! I think it would work well in longform 🙂 I’m sure there is a lot more behind those two parts of the story!
June 16, 2017 @ 1:51 PM
Thanks for the read! Yeah, there are layers within layers in this story that I’m still unraveling.
June 16, 2017 @ 1:59 PM
Great! 🙂

I liked the sound of The Nobody. Took me some place dark. But then that’s hardly a shocker. http://grahamwho.com/grahamwrites/2017/06/16/flash-fiction-nobodys-business/

Here’s my first attempt at flash fiction, using “A Year of Bodies.” Hope you enjoy!

(Sorry if this double posts; I tried posting last night, but internet was being funky & I don’t know if it went through to the validation queue.)
June 16, 2017 @ 1:50 PM
That was a captivating read!
June 16, 2017 @ 5:38 PM
Here’s my entry for the title Laughing Lights. Hard to believe how long it’s been since I’ve written anything, I think it shows!
