The end of that post verges dangerously close to “jiggery-pokery” and “applesauce.”I’m keeping a PC eye on you, Chuck.

Grey Search.
…the hell. Okay, need to ponder on that one for a bit…

Pavowski says:
After banishing thoughts of a Gandalf the Grey fan-fiction, all I could think of was Grey Goo. So…

Ooof. Good stuff, but… yeah.

Nice story. Creepy, but good.

thedebc says:
Hey Pavowski, good job. I really liked this. Def an op for a chapter two here… Hint, hint.
July 6, 2015 — 8:25 PM
Pavowski says:
I agree, this definitely felt incomplete, but it already ran over the limit!
July 6, 2015 — 8:50 PM
thedebc says:
Not incomplete….just really good, leaving the reader wanting more.

Missing Nobody. Somewhat cryptic and mysterious. I can work with this.

Mark Gardner says:
I got “The Secret in the Game.” Here’s 616 words: http://article94.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/the-secret-in-the-game/
July 3, 2015 — 1:30 PM
Fred G. Yost says:
Nice! Also, that’s some amazingly quick writing. The pacing is good, and the story is intriguing. My one minor bit of feedback is that I felt the tiniest bit lost using this as an entry point for this series of stories. I like it enough that I’ll probably click around for the rest of the story, but it certainly feels like a piece of something else.
July 3, 2015 — 5:13 PM
Mark Gardner says:
Thanks, it’s just some backstory to my novella, Body Rentals. I’m glad you liked it.
July 3, 2015 — 5:15 PM
M.A. Kropp says:
That was pretty good. Fascinating idea (I read one other piece). I’m certainly intrigued.
July 6, 2015 — 12:57 PM
Mark Gardner says:
Thanks! Consider this a prologue to my Body Rentals Novella.
July 6, 2015 — 6:29 PM
thedebc says:
Hi Mark, I posted a comment chastising you for leaving us with a cliffhanger, but it didn’t print.
Cool story, but I want my other 400 words lol! Guess that’s the sign of a good story right?
July 6, 2015 — 8:51 PM
Mark Gardner says:
Totally! Follow the link at the bottom for the rest of the words.
July 6, 2015 — 8:57 PM
Fred G. Yost says:
Hmmm.
“The Ragged Abyss”
“The Third Girl”
“The Flame of the Years”
I’m so tempted to just write three….
Though, I suppose, I should just pick one for this, and keep two in pocket for when I’m out of story challenges.
July 3, 2015 — 2:34 PM
latedra says:
I like “The Third Girl”. Which one did you chose?
July 4, 2015 — 10:04 AM
thedebc says:
Ooohhhh, do The Ragged Abyss! For sure!
July 6, 2015 — 8:35 PM

I was sure hoping you’d go there. Well played.

Kate Baray says:
Flash fic virgin, btw. Two excellent options: The Professional Child and Fallen Ashes. I went with the 2d bc it fits nicely with an event in my UF world. Here goes: http://www.katebaray.com/?p=664 (240 words)
July 3, 2015 — 3:44 PM
Fred G. Yost says:
As someone that’s not read your 3rd book, I must say that this stands alone fairly well, although what I’m taking away from it might be completely different than one of your complete readers. Still, a well done first entry. Welcome to flash fic!
July 3, 2015 — 5:19 PM
Kate Baray says:
It’s probably exactly what you think (says hopeful me). Series readers have a shot at knowing who the “he” in the story is, that’s all = )
Re: The Ragged Abyss, there was totally creepy music playing in the background. Just saying – nice 🙂
July 3, 2015 — 5:44 PM
Fred G. Yost says:
Glad you liked it 🙂

“The Sorcerer’s Girlfriend” which sounded cute, but then I realized I have no clue how to write cute BUT I WENT WITH IT ANYWAY.

That actually was cute. xD Love their names too!
July 3, 2015 — 7:35 PM
AurorA Dimitre (@32AurorA05) says:
Thank you! 🙂 I’m glad you like the names, too, I was feeling kind of iffy on them but nothing else really felt right.
July 3, 2015 — 7:54 PM

Enjoyed this one. I loved the exploding buttons!

Eesh, yeah, I’ve got to figure out how to fix up how the posts look. But thank you!

latedra says:
That was really nice. I smiled throughout the whole thing. you should consider doing mini episodes of their life for you blog if you haven’t already done something with them. They’re really likable.
July 4, 2015 — 10:16 AM
AurorA Dimitre (@32AurorA05) says:
Thank you! 🙂 I definitely really started to like them a lot while I was writing them, so there might be something else about them at some point.
July 5, 2015 — 9:57 AM

I like the characters and the premise. And now I want some exploding buttons!

AurorA Dimitre (@32AurorA05) says:
Ooh, this was really fun. I mean, not exactly FUN, but very enjoyable to read and I really liked it, basically.
July 3, 2015 — 6:14 PM
Cheryl M. (@Writezalot) says:
hehe. Thanks Aurora. I seriously just ran with it. Creep factor x10. Not my usual sunshine and rainbows, but I like working outside the box sometimes.
July 3, 2015 — 7:33 PM
C R Smith says:
If your usual is “sunshine and rainbows” you should go outside your box more often because this was an excellent offering. Just enough to be creepy. Also, outstanding use of repetitive words without overdoing it! I really enjoyed it
July 3, 2015 — 9:59 PM
Cheryl M. (@Writezalot) says:
Thank you C R ! I appreciate it! I write fantasy novels and novellas that tend to not be grimdark/creepy. I wanted to use this exercise to try something different.
July 4, 2015 — 1:06 AM
Fred G. Yost says:
Definitely succeeded at creepy. Well done.
July 5, 2015 — 10:38 AM
tavara5642 says:
I don’t normally do dark, either, but this has a nice creep factor. And you made me care about a less than likable protagonist. Well done.
July 6, 2015 — 5:34 PM
thedebc says:
You def won the creepy prize here! I like your use of repetition, (to show the narrator instability?) I think I like you working out of the box lol
July 6, 2015 — 9:00 PM
Cheryl M. (@Writezalot) says:
Thank you!!
July 6, 2015 — 10:39 PM
Fred G. Yost says:
Ok, settled on one. “The Ragged Abyss”
http://fredgyost.com/2015/07/03/flash-fiction-challenge-the-ragged-abyss/
Shorter than I usually tend to go, but I think I like it. These are fun!
July 3, 2015 — 5:06 PM
Cheryl M. (@Writezalot) says:
nice!
July 3, 2015 — 5:49 PM
Anna says:
I liked this. Great closing line(s)!
July 4, 2015 — 3:22 AM
Fred G. Yost says:
Glad you liked it. I tend to struggle with closing lines / finishing a story at all, but this one felt pretty good from the first draft.
July 5, 2015 — 10:44 AM
latedra says:
That was really nice! Good choice. Good characters for such a short piece.
July 4, 2015 — 10:28 AM
Fred G. Yost says:
Thanks! I like the characters more than I thought I would. I’m having to fight the urge to add a few lines to the end that would let me use this as a prologue for a longer Annabelle focused story.
July 5, 2015 — 10:46 AM
tavara5642 says:
I really like the premise and the way you handled it.
July 6, 2015 — 5:39 PM
thedebc says:
So glad you chose this one and loved the references to Nietzche! The title screamed for it!
Great story and loved the ending!
July 6, 2015 — 9:06 PM
Anna says:
Here’s mine: “The Splintered Savior.”
http://strangeandcuriousthings.blogspot.fi/2015/07/terribleminds-challenge-six-random.html
These challenges are so addictive. Here I am, scribbling away at one a.m..
Again.
Going to bed now.

Thanks! Now I need to go read Watchmen again 🙂
July 4, 2015 — 3:15 AM
angstycockroach says:
^What he said. This kind of story is quite a hit/miss, but you hit it hard and made it awesome.
July 19, 2015 — 11:07 AM
latedra says:
I got a thing for superheroes and grit. You did it perfectly.
July 4, 2015 — 10:38 AM
C R Smith says:
Great story! Realistic super hero stories have always been a vice of mine. I was hooked quickly. Also, it was wonderful light-hearted finish.
July 4, 2015 — 7:13 PM
Anna says:
Thanks, guys 🙂
I’m wondering about the font being hard to read. Is it too small? I’m very new to blogging, and I’ve gone back and forth with this. This story is in the Blogger “normal” sized font, and some of my previous posts (like the fairy wings one) are in “large,” which looks freakishly gigantic when I’m writing the post, but not so much on the blog. Anybody else using Blogger? Which do you go for?
July 5, 2015 — 12:23 PM
Fred G. Yost says:
I think it might have more to do with the layout / the font than the size. I’ve fairly recently switched from Blogger to WordPress because I prefer the Terms & Conditions of WordPress a bit more, but functionally all of the platforms are fairly similar.
Depending on how knowledgeable you are of HTML, you should be able to tweak the font size in the code directly in the post, but that could take away some of the responsive element, and the browser settings can still impact the user experience.
If you want to be really hardcore about UX, you can download Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE, and Chrome, and check out how it looks on all of them. (Probably should check it out on a phone / tablet as well) but that’s more of a designer issue and not something you should have to necessarily worry about as a writer.
Alternatively, as readers, there are options. I tend to use the ‘Reader’ mode of safari, which reformats stories into my system font in black text on a white background. For those using other browsers, each one should have a ‘Zoom’ functionality that will let them enlarge the font size of a specific page. It’s ⌘+ on a mac, but windows/linux should also have a shortcut built in.
Hmm, that was a bit longer and more ramble-y than I intended. Hope some of it helps.
July 5, 2015 — 12:36 PM
Anna says:
Thanks, very helpful:) I use Safari myself so I don’t know how it looks in other browsers…
July 5, 2015 — 3:22 PM
Ridley Kemp says:
I feel as though Google has abandoned Blogger and I’ve always found getting the formatting right to be a chore. My current loves are WordPress and Squarespace, but there are a lot of good platforms out there. Bruce Sterling uses Tumblr, and I’m certainly not going to argue with him.
July 9, 2015 — 9:55 PM
tavara5642 says:
I really loved this. You captured the inner emotions of the character really well, and I love seeing a super hero’s human side.
July 6, 2015 — 5:51 PM

Anna, this was awesome, loved it from beginning to end! Great story.

I had a couple of good ones out of my list of six but settled on “The Red Twins”. I just whipped out this little story. I don’t know if it’s any good or not…but here it is. Your thoughts on it are appreciated.

Hey Furyious, I really enjoyed your story. I thought it was going to be kind of science-fictiony… And I would have liked that. But I absolutely loved the direction you went! It’s a lovely lesson hidden in a great story.
July 6, 2015 — 9:46 PM
furyious says:
Thanks for all the kind words. I wrote that in the evening after a late shift. I have since gone back and reread it a few times, and now wish it had been better edited (or edited at all LOL).
I wasn’t sure where it was going to end. When I go there, though, that’s what came out of my fingers!! Sometimes the stories do write themselves, don’t they?
July 7, 2015 — 11:10 AM

Now this was a really cool story. Loving the semi-Stone Age setting.

Thanks for introducing us all to the random title generator, Chuck. Great Fun. I wasn’t going to join in this week, but I just had to look, and when I saw “A Shadowy Healing” I knew I had to write it. Enjoyed writing it immensely – I hope a few of you like it:

I got to the end of your story and wanted more. It felt like an excerpt from a novel to be honest.
July 4, 2015 — 12:56 PM
Mikey Campling says:
Thanks for your comment. Not sure if you liked it or not, but it isn’t an extract. I wrote about half last night and finished it this morning. I deliberately left quite a lot to the reader’s imagination.
July 4, 2015 — 1:42 PM
mannixk says:
That was a pretty tough title to work with, in my opinion, but great job!! As someone who is never very fond of the doctor’s office it was extra terrifying. And you nailed every medical receptionist ever. 🙂

Hi, here is my piece. I wrote it at one in the morning, where sleep did not find me but the bones in fingers were aching to move. I had a really fun time writing this. It started off as a story but it didn’t really flow well for me, so I went back to my roots and it came so naturally. Thanks for reading.

I had six awful titles. The least worst was “The Captive’s Male”. This fell out of my brain: http://musicalgibbon.co.uk/?page_id=1505 (997 words)
July 5, 2015 — 9:07 AM
Fred G. Yost says:
That’s the danger of the randomizer, I suppose, but I have to say I like what you’ve done with the least worst of them. Nice job of world building, and you’ve created fleshed out characters with hints of other stories buried throughout.
July 5, 2015 — 11:11 AM
Andy Cowley says:
Thanks Fred. It was good fun. I might explore this world a bit more actually…
July 5, 2015 — 11:11 AM

Your story is so nicely written. Lovely images, and nothing beats the “Love Always Wins,” theme!
July 6, 2015 — 11:31 PM
angstycockroach says:
This was awesome. I agree with Fred here as well – your worldbuilding feels rich and detailed, and I would love another trip into this world. At first I didn’t like that they wore veils, but then I thought, hey, they live in the desert. Wouldn’t want to choke on sand… 🙂 Once again, awesome story.

I got Forgotten Ashes, The Azure Mist, Angel of Time, The Rainbow’s Waves, The Woman of the Voyages and Death in the Tales. That last one caused me to channel my mother for 337 words:

Wow…demons masquerading as Peacocks? What has the world come to?
Now…I could believe that Starlings are demons (bastards kill my Purple Martins). But Peacocks? This is just too sad.
Lololol

Well, rats. I got a couple of good ones and “magnificent flames” merged with an idea I’d been kicking around for a contest. At 998 I decided to kick it up a notch and go for the contest entry. Final word count went 2200, but I think it’s solid for an entry. I’ll have use another from the six for a flash piece later this week

Creepy and your economy of words served you well, I think. More like slashes than sentences.

Looks like my first attempt to post this didn’t take. I don’t normally do Flash Fiction. I chose The Ragged Rose. Here is the result:

Here’s Splintered Voyagers. It went way past 1000 words so I cut it down and decided on a two-parter. First part here. Enjoy!
