Flash Fiction Highlights
Every week I will choose some (or all!) of the stories shared in the Chat to highlight in the subsequent weeks issue of Flash Fiction Friday. This week, I decided to choose three! Here are the highlights:
- CampfireSDG wrote a story using a previous set of prompts! Check out this great campfire story (and don’t think I didn’t notice the nod to I, Robot!)
Scott is no stranger to tackling prompts at Gibberish, I was glad to see his twist on the previous prompts! Check out his story about a little dose of cosmic justice!
Tiffany tackled the prompts and I liked one of the comments that said “Love a snowball to my feelings”!

Thank you for checking out these prompts! Come back next week for another round of prompts!
Interested in seeing my own writing? Check out The Volume for longer-form fiction, or The Writing Gym for writing exercises designed to help me sharpen my craft!
Thank you and God bless!
Awww... thank you! I wasn't expecting this, especially since I bumbled the posting instructions for that story! 😊
(and yay, someone spotted the Susan Calvin reference!)
Thank you for the shoutotut Scoot! Loved these other pieces too. Actually found you through Scott! Looking forward to this week's challenge. Love the turn of phrase and random characters in these prompts!
