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. Here are the highlights:
- FarewellBC Ray delights with a nautical story, and what it takes to run an honest ship…
Hobin gives us another fun romp with some chaos-prone gnomes…
Michael, always good for a surprise, gives us a creative method of stowing away on a ship, and…un-stowing away…
Thank you all for sharing your wonderful fiction!
