Flash | Scaps

War child by Djetho on DeviantArt “Scraps” Fanya shuffled through papers. Bills. All with a red stamp at the top. PAST DUE each stamp read. She looked up from her desk inside the office. A wide window overlooked the garage floor. Two autos lay jacked up on lifts. Tires pulled off. Hoods open. Bellies exposed. […]

Flash | From the Sea

Seawitch Apprentice by Varguy from DeviantArt   “From the Sea” Max never backed down from a dare. Especially a dare from herself. Leaning useless in the corner was Wave Birch. Useless. Begging for Max to take the staff up. I’ll be back before dark, Maxcene, Old Lady Winter told her late that same morning. Stay out […]

Rain by Varguy on DeviantArt   “I Don’t Remember” Rain pounded the forest floor. Fat drops played a melodious song against hollow logs.  Wind whistled along in time.

Unusual date by Uruczek from DeviantArt “Date Crasher” “Don’t tell me you’re quitting?” Barbra teased. Rodney drew in a few quick breaths to his screaming lungs. “What… makes… you… say that?” Barbara shook her head. For a moment Rodney thought her upset, regretting coming out with him today. But then she winked at him in […]

Spinal Set by cliff-rathburn from DeviantArt “Routine Maintenance” “What’s her name?” asked one of the assistants. “Does its name matter?” Dr. Seoul asked. “I’ll help you there: no. Now, hand me the depression needle.” The doctor held out a rubber gloved hand and one of the masked and hooded assistants slapped into his hand a […]
