Haunted by Things Undone

Posted on July 23, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, briefly write, flexvss, horror, microfiction, whistpr

He could barely find the path in the wild #tangle of the once-tidy #garden. With a #shout, he #pitched forward, scrabbling at his #throat. “You promised to do the weeding after I was gone,” a voice muttered in his ear.

The Magician’s Riddle

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, briefly write, fantasy, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

She #scribbles a #poem in the margins of the magician’s #private diary, to #quiet her unease, but her #eyes widen as she realizes she’s written a #riddle instead. Clever old Tobias! He’s given her the answer even in death, if she has the #courage to solve it.

New Friends

Posted on July 20, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, Sci-fi, VSS365, whistpr

When the #detective knocked, Po squeezed into a vent to hide. “Something fell from the #sky! Did it come in here?” Sam shook his head. Their inter-#species #friendship would be tested. Was a #schism inevitable? Perhaps, but not today.

A Moment of Peace

Posted on July 19, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, flexvss, microfiction, Sci-fi, whistpr

Sitting there in the lush grass of the park, the #sun bright in the #blue sky, she felt an #unbreakable #calm wash over her. And then the spaceship began to fire. “Not again,” she muttered, moving her blanket beneath the picnic shelter.

Carried Away

Posted on July 10, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

The #orphans were on their daily outing to the park when a #storm #rose from the east, thunder rattling their bones as dark clouds blotted out the sun. They felt a #change in the air as dozens of fairies descended, wings aglow, to carry them away.

Passion of the Pachyderms

Posted on July 10, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

“What are you watching?” “It’s my soap opera, #Passion of the #Pachyderms. Stella is about to #leave Steve after a #quarrel over the best tree bark, but she doesn’t know he’s actually been replaced by a Steve from another #dimension.”

2020

Posted on July 8, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, flexvss, microfiction, Sci-fi, whistpr

“Time is #resilient, but…” She shifted the first man’s body and wiped her hands on his shirt. “Let’s #pretend nothing happened and just pop back to 2020 and assess the damage. We’ll #lie our asses off to the captain. How bad can it be?”

The Heretic

Posted on July 7, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

The villagers gathered at the #blue #obelisk to hear the priest. “The gods send a message to build a temple near the water!” “I think you just want a beach house,” muttered Stan. “Banish the #heretic #forever!” they cried in #unity.

The Collaboration

Posted on July 6, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, bravewrite, flexvss, microfiction, VSS365, whistpr

Eleven #writers gathered on a dark and stormy #night to collaborate. The biographer tossed another #split log onto the fire. “Enough stalling,” she said. “It’s time we wrote the #truth.” “My truth or yours?” asked the poet #timidly. 366FF #vss365 #flexvss #whistpr #bravewrite

Steve’s Revenge

Posted on June 30, 2020 by Allison Ketchell under 366FF, flexvss, microfiction, whistpr

I caught a flash of #green from the corner of my eye. “Not again!” I groaned. “He’s #hunted me down. We’d better run.” “Wait, is that a…toad? Is it limping?” “I accidentally mowed over his foot last week. Who knew an amphibian could be so #vengeful?”
