New Will and Diana Flash for Sunday Scribblings

New Flash at Magpie Tales

Trying something different here...I posted a Steal Tomorrow flash at Magpie Tales. This story has new characters and hints at developments in the partly-written sequel. Words on Paper

Sunday 160 - Abandoned

The ghosts of those who left this place linger on. They are here in the shadows, lurking in the whisper of weeds and in the play of sunlight on a broken swing.

55 - Hallow's Eve

The veil between the worlds slips and restless souls stalk the earth. A few among the living, more daring than the rest, honor the shades of spirits past with gifts of food and flowers, small tokens of better times. Reassured they haven't been forgotten, the dead are coaxed back to their sleep. Until next year.

55 - Sorry, We're Closed

Sorry, we're closed today. You came here looking for quaint country charm; oddments to show off to your friends back home. "Just look at these bottles and crockery shards. Poor rustics had no idea what they were worth. I bought them for a song."

Well, your money counts for nothing here today. Sorry, we're closed.

Sunday 160: The Hermit

He says he's praying for universal love and happiness; the salvation of the world. He spends his days in contemplation of peace. Why, then, is he such a grouch?











This was inspired by Days 44-45 of my fiction blog, Diana's Diary.

55 - Golden Age

He paused while putting her suitcase in the car. “We still have a little gasoline and there’s plenty to eat. To future generations, we’re rich.”

She glanced around the weed-choked parking lot. That this shabby existence might be a Golden Age was too much to bear. “Let’s go. We need to make Albuquerque by noon.”

Administratia

I've been posting on Alice Audrey's Serialists blog lately. I've mostly been posting older flash fiction but today's post is an excerpt from Diana's Diary: Vince and the Riots.

I also posted an excerpt from Tin Soldier to the October 1 Sunday Scribblings a couple weeks ago. This one was modified for brevity and clarity, but still gives an idea of the work as a whole: Illusions.
