Each Friday, writers post on twitter a link to a short-short story they’ve written, marked with the tag #FridayFlash. On July 30, I didn’t post anything for #FridayFlash, because I was still recovering from my life blowing apart (although I did start on a story). Most of my time and mental energy has been taken up with a new software contract I’m on. But I’m hoping to do some serious writing in August.
#FridayFlash Favorites for July 30
There were 111 stories (including the 85 that made it onto the official #FridayFlash Report for July 30). Of all those, here are my 7 favorites, listed in no particular order.
-
“Two-Week Notice” by Michelle Frank — What we’re willing to leave, in order to obtain autonomy.
-
“Something In The Attic” by Icy Sedgwick — A little girl, an attic, and the quest for forbidden knowledge.
-
“Contact” by Neil Shurley — Yeah, when we say “evidence” of alien life, this is what we mean.
-
“Why I’m Overweight” by G.P. Ching — We all think our parents are obsolete, and we can’t imagine ever sympathizing with them. It’s part of the curse of youth.
-
“To Third” by “soco” — Don’t know why he was “not completely satisfied with it.” I thought he wonderfully told us the story of why humans strive.
-
“Goblins” by Monica Marier — Attack of the night faeries; a funny and touching tale.
-
“The Kitmvat Ritual” by Lauren Cude — We all need to be part of something bigger than just ourselves.
