Sorry, no posts for a while. What else is new, right?
I'm just about getting the swing of things with this quarter of school. Doing a lot of reading and a lot more writing than usual. It's very enjoyable. Maybe I'll post a couple poems or short pieces of fiction soon.
I read an article about flash fiction. Flash fiction is a complete story in 50-100 words. It's very fun. Here's a sample:
At Confession
By Harvey Stanbrough
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."
"How long since your last confession?"
"Two years."
"What's the trouble?"
"I have wished death on a man."
"You haven't acted on your wish?"
"Not yet."
"Who is the man?"
"He is cheating with my wife."
The priest paled. "I forgive you."
I shot him through the screen.
