Last week’s challenge: Fifty Characters.
So, last weekend I was at the Pike’s Peak Writer’s Conference.
It was great stuff — highly recommended.
One of the days I did a workshop on theme, a topic that, for me, is quite beloved. One of the exercises was that we had a bunch of folks in the room come up with various themes — then I picked one and had people write to that theme. Follow me? So, one of the themes they picked was:
“We’re all human, even when we’re not.”
So, I’m going to grab that, and that’s now your theme.
Use it and write a 1000-word piece of flash fiction in service to that theme.
Write it at your online space.
Link back here via the comments.
Due in one week, by May 9th, at noon EST.
Pavowski says:
I love this idea, and I am immediately struck with inspiration. Be back soon.

Pavowski says:
It took some doing to trim this down, but I did it, and I think the story is better off for it. This one is a sort of homage to Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot (the book, not the film. Nothing against the film. But the book is fascinating). Powell and Donovan are from that universe and I repurposed them here.
So you have an idea where this is going. Robots and such. I can’t help myself. At any rate, here are 988 words of almost human strife.
“Decommission” is here: http://pavorisms.wordpress.com/2014/05/03/decommission/

fadedglories says:
Loved this, you’re a writer, all right?
May 3, 2014 — 12:39 PM
Mark Baron says:
Very nice – I love the self-preservation/continuation of the species angle here. Great read!
May 3, 2014 — 10:44 PM
Pavowski says:
Exactly what I was after. Tried to think of an act that would be terribly human and terribly inhuman at once. Glad you liked it!
May 4, 2014 — 7:05 AM
C. E. Coburn says:
Very nice read. “Decommission will not be permitted.” Loved that line, I was like oh, shit.
May 4, 2014 — 1:26 AM
Pavowski says:
I wanted to make it clear that everything changed in that moment. Your reaction is just what I wanted 🙂
May 4, 2014 — 7:07 AM
Catastrophe Jones says:
“Mine.” <— aaabsolute chills, right then. Really excellent work.

I could swear I’ve seen this line before… Just can’t remember where.
May 2, 2014 — 8:39 AM
AnniePegg says:
I think it’s from Doctor Who. Eleven says to Rory, “Why do you have to be so human?” And Rory answers, “Because right now I’m not.”

This one had me stumped… I had to try out a few different ways before I got it right… and here it is. 😀

May 2, 2014 — 9:20 AM
Mark Gardner says:
I like it. Good job Mozzie.
May 2, 2014 — 11:57 AM
Mark Baron says:
Hmmm, I like it! You went a completely different direction than I was expecting at the end. Very nice!
May 2, 2014 — 1:00 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Twilight Zone-esque. I enjoyed the read.
May 2, 2014 — 2:04 PM
Mozette says:
Hey thank you all! I just checked how many read ‘The Prison’ since I posted it late last night – 109! Wow! And It’s not yet 24 hours since I put it up there! I’m amazed! Honestly, I wasn’t all that pleased with how it turned out; but now I read it again, after a good night’s sleep, and it does read better. 🙂
Thank you Catastrophe Jones! I’ve never had my work compared with The Twilight Zone before. 😀
May 2, 2014 — 8:18 PM
Wendy Christopher says:
Great job, Mozette – you took this in a completely unexpected direction, and pulled it off beautifully. (I also commented at your site, a.k.a kentishjanner.)
May 3, 2014 — 5:10 AM
Mark Gardner says:
Interesting. I’ll get right on this one.
May 2, 2014 — 9:29 AM
Mark Gardner says:
I’ve been watching House, MD reruns on Netflix. It figures I would channel that into this week’s flash fiction challenge. Here are 707 words for you to consider:

May 2, 2014 — 10:54 AM
Jennifer McGinnis says:
Awesome! I love when it’s not until the very last sentence that you get hit! I’ve been watching House, too, and just watched the one with the “locked in” guy and thought this would be something like that…so this really got me. Excellent flash and excellent take on the theme.
May 2, 2014 — 12:44 PM
Mark Baron says:
I love this one. I suspected it from the start, then you led me to question my suspicions, which only made the conclusion that much more satisfying. Bravo!
May 2, 2014 — 1:04 PM
ems95 says:
Really enjoyed reading this! I liked how part of the beginning was repeated at the end and you think it will be similar but then it changes. Great work!
May 2, 2014 — 5:09 PM
angelacavanaugh says:
Very nice. I had an idea of what was going on, but couldn’t put everything exactly in place until the end. Nice use of theme.
May 2, 2014 — 6:21 PM

Can we paraphrase like in the PPWC flash fiction contest?
May 2, 2014 — 12:34 PM
Rebecca Douglass says:
No one’s grading these, so do what feels right!

Mark Baron says:
Challenge accepted! http://wp.me/p4AFse-z
May 2, 2014 — 12:52 PM
Mark Gardner says:
I figured it out during the first paragraph. It was still a fun read – especially the last line. I definatelu LOL’d at that one.
May 2, 2014 — 1:51 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Laughed hard at the last line. One of the most sympathetic protags, ever. 😀
May 2, 2014 — 2:03 PM
Mark Baron says:
I really think the girl made a terrible choice. Baby daddy is bound to be a let down… 😉
May 3, 2014 — 10:45 PM
angelacavanaugh says:
lol awesome! loved it. too funny. very creative. I like your writing style, too.
May 2, 2014 — 6:28 PM
Mark Baron says:
Awwww *blushes* thank you! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been trying to pin down how to define my style as of late…a little bit noir, a little dry humor. Shaken, not stirred. 😉

May 2, 2014 — 2:00 PM
Mark Baron says:
Oooh, very tense, this one. It definitely pulled me all the way through the tale, though I feel a little empty at the end. I wish there were more of it!
May 2, 2014 — 2:03 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Thank you!
May 2, 2014 — 2:06 PM
Mark Baron says:
I will say, that’s one thing I love about these challenges. Seeing how many wild and varied directions one idea will lead people’s imaginations is amazing. Plus, I get to read some excellent writers! 🙂
May 2, 2014 — 2:08 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Same here — I’m entirely entertained by all the flash fiction bits I get to consume on any given day, combing through Wendig’s posts.
May 2, 2014 — 2:42 PM
Mark Gardner says:
Chalk one up for intrigued, but with closure.
May 2, 2014 — 3:32 PM
angelacavanaugh says:
I liked the action. It kept my attention. But, I didn’t quiet understand what was going on.
May 2, 2014 — 6:23 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Good to know. I think that can happen with a lot of the pieces I have, using these characters — I have a lot of the world knowledge in *my* head — I don’t always show it, which can be confusing. Thanks for the feedback, Angela!
May 2, 2014 — 9:47 PM
fadedglories says:
I have to go with Angela, didn’t really get the ending, but i thought it moved fast and it intrigued me.

Beautiful. Really lovely and horrible and sad.
May 2, 2014 — 4:37 PM
Mark Baron says:
Ouch…ahhh the pain. Beautiful and horrible and so terribly sad. Impressive stuff, this.
May 3, 2014 — 10:50 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Impressive, dark, wounding. This one hurt to read, but I don’t read to feel joy, really. Loved this.
May 5, 2014 — 8:52 AM
physicsjenn says:
Oh man, I just realized that this theme reminds me of a story I wrote maybe a year ago or so. I think I’ll put that one up while I work on a new one, which I will then come back and post that.
http://jennwritesstories.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/imposters-syndrome/
I repeat, I’m admitting up front that this isn’t a new story that I just made up today. But it was just too appropriate to the theme not to share, and I’ll do a new one, too.
May 2, 2014 — 3:55 PM
Mark Baron says:
That was amazingly on theme! I really enjoyed reading it too, thanks for sharing!
May 3, 2014 — 10:56 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Excellent take on the theme. Nice turn. Really enjoyed reading it!
May 5, 2014 — 8:54 AM
physicsjenn says:
Thanks to both of you.
I’ve posted a new story on the theme, albeit taking a very different view. Warning: it’s violent: http://jennwritesstories.wordpress.com/2014/05/05/terribleminds-flash-fic-challenge-the-monster/
May 5, 2014 — 9:20 AM
JP Juniper says:
So, this came out pretty … dark. It comes with a trigger warning for domestic violence (discussed but not shown) and other implied violence, and has some swearing and some coffee is spilled.
http://jpjuniper.svbtle.com/buddy-sits-in-a-booth
May 2, 2014 — 4:29 PM
Mark Baron says:
That was dark. And sad. And far too true to life. Powerful stuff, there.
May 2, 2014 — 10:48 PM
fadedglories says:
Very edgy. Dark indeed, but I couldn’t stop reading it.
May 3, 2014 — 12:52 PM
Pavowski says:
Glad you warned us upfront about the spilled coffee. It might have been too much to handle otherwise.
In All seriousness, a very sad and jarring tale. Nicely done.
May 4, 2014 — 10:01 AM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Nice and dark. Thanks for sharing — I could picture this in my head, wanted to, as though it were a movie, like Buddy.

Mark Baron says:
I like this, a lot, especially for a first time attempt at flash fiction. I think that this world would do well expanded a bit – I would definitely read it!
May 3, 2014 — 11:02 PM
ems95 says:
Oh, wow, thank you! I didn’t think anyone would read it. It was just something that came to me when I read the theme so I really had no intention of turning it into an actual story. But now I may have to! 😉
May 4, 2014 — 9:21 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Excellent. I feel like this could make a much larger piece; the world background is intriguing!
May 5, 2014 — 9:01 AM
angelacavanaugh says:
Theme… my old arch-nemesis. We meet again. I’m just going to admit it. I’m terrible at theme. My guy always reads my stories and finds the themes for me. lol. So… here’s my attempt. Might be a little overt.

pmcoltrane says:
I think your link should have been https://angelacavanaugh.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/flash-fiction-friday-still-human/ ? This story is clearly the start of something unnerving — dark times follow when humans start labeling others as sub-human.
May 3, 2014 — 12:50 AM

Lol

It’s a prescient sort of tale and gave me the shivers.
May 3, 2014 — 12:56 PM
Mark Baron says:
As a father with a child who has cancer (thankfully, almost clear), I can say that this story was perhaps more frightening to me than most. The only problem I have with flash fiction? I want more! There is a scary as hell story here, lurking like a monster hidden in someone’s veins..
May 3, 2014 — 11:15 PM
Catastrophe Jones says:
Ooh, I like this one. Not too blunt, but nicely wrenching.
May 5, 2014 — 9:06 AM

In response to the challenge I’m posting this: http://carljshirley.blogspot.com/2014/05/sickly-celsius.html
But it’s not new and it’s actually part of the longer work, so technically not a complete story.
May 3, 2014 — 9:36 AM
Mark Baron says:
I would very much like to read the longer work! I like your style immensely.
May 3, 2014 — 11:32 PM

So… you’ll be sharing the whole story now, right? 🙂

Thank you so much. I look forward to reading yours as well!

May 3, 2014 — 11:52 PM
Mark Baron says:
Oh, you are really good with the alien language. It read believable, not just like garbley-gook (which is what all my attempts at other languages look like :P). It was well crafted, but I did feel like it just stopped. I wanted maybe one sentence more, a bit more resolution to “Who was he?”
May 4, 2014 — 12:13 AM
Doug Daniel says:
Thanks– but, just to let you know, the ending is intentional, right where it is.
May 4, 2014 — 12:42 AM
Mark Baron says:
I had guessed as much, but I am ever the greedy reader. 😉 Thanks for sharing it 🙂

Catastrophe Jones says:
Aaaaaagh. I wanna reach through TCP/IP and throttle you for ending it there. All the same, good job. 🙂
May 5, 2014 — 9:20 AM
Doug Daniel says:
Thank you. Doing this did sort of make me start thinking about a longer version– maybe when I get my current set of projects done.
May 5, 2014 — 11:59 PM

Thanks! Really glad you liked it.
May 4, 2014 — 7:08 AM
Helena says:
I did it! I’m writing a book and this had inspired me to write a scene for one of my characters, Jarra. This probably won’t go in the book though.
Oh and, I actually wrote it in portuguese cause I’m brazilian, and then translated it real quick so, forgive,oh forgive my human mistakes!

Quirky translation, yes, but I liked it all the same! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
May 5, 2014 — 9:23 AM

The translation was a little hard to get through, but the concept was excellent. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this!
May 5, 2014 — 9:43 AM
fadedglories says:
I liked this although your translation was quirky and got in the way a bit. I think Jarra is a great character and I’d love to read more of his adventures.
May 4, 2014 — 11:20 AM
absentmemory says:
The theme for this one is practically the same as a book I’m editing, so I couldn’t escape the lure of putting the protagonist into something shorter. I think Standard Procedure stands well on it’s own:
http://incarnatememory.wordpress.com/2014/05/04/friday-flash-its-been-a-while/

Catastrophe Jones says:
It does, in fact, stand well on its own! I love the world concept. 🙂
May 5, 2014 — 9:36 AM
Mark Baron says:
I do so love a “powers” story. There is definitely a feel of a much larger universe at work in this one, and I find myself curious about the back story, where the powers came from, how they first appeared. Thanks for sharing!
May 5, 2014 — 9:37 AM
absentmemory says:
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Now if I can just edit the book into decent condition… *clutches The Kick-Ass Writer close, found the theme because of it, now to remove suck*

I loved it! Strangely, I didn’t at first. I felt so terribly disconnected from the protagonist, that I found it hard to care. And then…as you got to the end, those final moments. I felt them with him. And I was awed. Brilliant job.
May 5, 2014 — 10:30 AM

Beautiful image building in this one. I could close my eyes and almost be there. Normally, I hate present tense – it’s just very hard for me to get into the story and tends to feel gimmicky, but in this one, it was almost transparent. Well done!
May 6, 2014 — 11:06 PM

Thank you. I also dislike present tense in prose, which is half the reason I used it. Wanted to get outside the comfort zone.

Rebecca Douglass says:
It’s an interesting story, though I felt like I wanted just a hair more info about what the narrator is. . . there’s a lot left unsaid, which isn’t bad, I just wasn’t doing super well at filling it in.
May 9, 2014 — 11:06 AM

And I just processed what you say about it being a first attempt–really? It’s impressive for a first story! Keep it up.

A nice turn of the theme, a waffling between which one was human and which one wasn’t. Lots of suspense and tension in this one!

I like this one too. Kind of a Harry Harrison feel to it – I do so love humor in space!

Now I have to go look up Harry Harrison!
