Here’s a challenge for you. Write a 100 word flash fiction, any genre. You must have a main character, beginning, climax and ending. If you will send them to me at shirley_mclain.net, I will post them on my blog. When you write a story using only 100 words it is really bare bones, no fluff. Let’s see what you can come up with.
I am posting the one I wrote for FanStory. It has made the All Time Favorite status and is also entered into a contest. I hope you enjoy the read and please let me know what you think of it.
I look forward to reading your stories and sharing them.
Warning
Thunder rumbled in the distance as Sally slipped out the door of her house. She had to get away from her vile, drunken husband. The police were her only hope. She knew if her husband found her, she’d be badly hurt.
“I need to talk to someone, please.”
“Hello, how can I help you?”
“My husband is going to hurt me. Please help me.”
“I’ll take you back and I’ll talk to him. Come with me.”
“No, don’t go to the door.”
Ignoring Sally’s warning, the officer went to the door, and rang the doorbell.
Six shots into the chest
Hello Shirley,
neat contest – but I was wondering if we needed to use “warning” or the image or neither as a prompt if we were going to participate?
Hi Craig, thanks for dropping by. To answer your question, you do not have to use anything but your imagination. I’m eager to read what you come up with.
Do we just paste it into the comments? And does it matter if it’s been previously posted on our own websites?
Please send it to shirley_mclain@yahoo.com. It doesn’t matter if it has been previously posted. Thank you for stopping by. ShirleyCheck out my web-page http://www.shirley-mclain.com and my blog at shirley-mclain.net
