Spider-Man’s Wish (Flash Fiction)
Here is yet another flash fiction based on an instagram prompt (#writerstowriterschallenge). This time I had to include; a costume, a piece of candy, and a wish upon a star. Also, quick backstory. As a child, I and my siblings always said “I wish I may, I wish I might, on the first star I…

Suffering is Never for Nothing by Elizabeth Elliot (Book Review)
“Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy.

Alice’s Cousin (Flash Fiction)

To read more stories that are also from the same prompt, head to Instagram and follow the #writerstowriterschallenge hashtag. You’d think that by now I’d be used…

A Sublime Discovery (Flash Fiction)
This story came from another prompt on Instagram, and because of the word limit I had to end this story at 500 words, but I think I may toy around with it and make it something longer one day! The bell above the door lets out a pathetic-sounding creak instead of a jingle as I…

A Man to Fall for (Flash Fiction)
With Fall right around the corner, I wanted to write a fall themed meet cute. The characters from this story will probably have another appearance in the near future, because I do want to flesh out their story a little more. Maybe I’m just becoming a full-on romantic! “That’ll be twelve dollars,” the round-faced woman…

The Fifty-Year Apology (Flash Fiction)
This story comes from a prompt to use a beach setting and include a letter. I’m not sure what made me think of the Vietnam war, perhaps it has something to do with our current news. War is difficult. Soldiers and people have many hard decisions to make, and I’m immensely grateful that I’ve never…
