  • Alice’s Cousin (Flash Fiction)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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)

    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…

  • The Confession by Mae Heller (Book Review)

    The Confession by Mae Heller (Book Review)

    “Enter into the inner turmoil of the girl behind John the Baptist’s death in The Confession.” -The Confession, by Mae Heller. I really love getting free books (who doesn’t?!), but I have a terrible habit of getting free books and then not reading them. (Why am I like this?) But, a few days ago, I…

  • Kiera’s Storm (Flash Fiction)

    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…
