Today I will post a 75 word flash that I wrote this month. It's titled Snow Blanket.
The snow falls fast and thick, the world is void of
color. It’s 25 below zero, I think. Why am I hot?
I fumble with the zipper before slipping off my jacket. A nippy wind pulls a tear from my eye. I sigh, sinking down into the soft white
fluff. I’m not supposed to do this, but
it feels so good. I lay back, letting
the snow blanket me. I snuggle in and
drift off...
Hope your Thanksgiving was fantastic and you ate till your buttons near popped off your pants : )
Oh wow. I know what is going to happen unless someone comes and saves her. Nice flash piece! Thanks for coming and visiting my blog even though you're busy. It means a lot. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to keep up with the haps, miss one week and I'll miss the vital clue : )
DeleteUh-oh! I'm really hoping for a paranormal, where this kind of behavior is actually perfectly healthy for this particular character? No? Help!
ReplyDelete(I wore sweatpants on Thanksgiving---it's really the only safe choice! :D )
Nope, no help! At least not in these 75 words. Maybe I have to come up with an addendum Flash to save her for you : )
DeleteNice piece of flash fiction, Millie! It's tough to do--bring a short piece back around.
ReplyDeleteI wore sweatpants, too! lol. Like Cindy said--the only safe choice! Ha!
Thank you. I have found flash to be really helpful in word pruning : )
Deletewow! that was excellent. I nrmally write in 100 words but to do 75 and done well - hats off to you !
ReplyDeleteThank you. My writing friend Helena Mallett is a pro, and inspired me to give it a shot. It's been fun seeing what can be accomplished in so few words.
DeleteNot a good idea to drift off... Enjoyed the flash fiction. Thanksgiving was good. I didn't overeat until I had to taste a few of the desserts. lol
ReplyDeleteDesserts : ) I always end up eating too many of those. Glad it was wonderful for you!
DeleteHmm, this sounds like paradoxical undressing, one of the last stages of hypothermia... o.O Bad things!
ReplyDeleteYup, I was writing 75 word flashes, all random topics, and this just popped out.
DeleteBeautifully written, Millie. Almost makes me want to step into the great white North today. :D
ReplyDeleteJust wrap up warm and toasty and you should be okay! : )
DeleteGreat job! These are hard to write, but you did it very well. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've been having fun writing them, in order to help me pre-edit myself. Keep from writing all the unnecessary fluff to start with. I'm always amazed how much can be conveyed in 75 words.
DeleteNice flash piece. Complete yet with possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Flash writing is fun.
