A Thanksgiving Wish (Flash Fiction)
I wrote this short story as a continuation of A Man to Fall for back in early September, but since it is Thanksgiving themed, I’ve been sitting on it until now! If you want to see how Emma and Heath met, click on ‘A Man to Fall for’ above! The creamy flavor of hazelnut cappuccino…

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…

Alice’s Cousin (Flash Fiction)
This came from an Instagram prompt, which gave me all the Alice in Wonderland vibes! What do you think Alice did to make her cousin chase after her? 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…

The Only Goodbye (Flash Fiction)
You may have noticed that I’ve missed a couple of weeks of posts, and I’m here to say I’m back. Nearly two weeks ago, I suffered a miscarriage and I took a small hiatus from social media. This flash fic is the first thing I’ve written since. It was based on a prompt via Instagram…

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…

Kiera’s Storm (Flash Fiction)
Another flash fiction Friday! The prompt came again from an Instagram challenge, this time the goal was that severe weather was to significantly impact the story. This story is actually a situation that would give me nightmares, but there’s a happy ending, so I just have to remind myself of that! There’s a heartbeat of…

July 9th (Flash Fiction)
Another flash fiction from the #writerstowriterschallenge that is hosted on Instagram! The main point being to capture the aesthetic of ‘summer noir’. (All of this is a work of fiction). I notice her immediately. She’s the only person in the street, standing under the only working streetlight. Normally, I’d be asleep right now, as it’s…

A Pop of Extinction (Flash Fiction)
This is another story that came from a visual prompt on Instagram. As soon as I saw it, I had a pretty serious plot idea. Part of me wasn’t even sure if I should post this, but I 100% believe that fiction can and in many circumstances should, bring awareness to things. Hopefully, this piece…
