I haven't been keeping up with my flash fiction challenges lately, and I wasn't intending to do so. But this week, Priceless Joy--the person who manages Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers--is suffering from a personal loss. FFfAW is one of my favorite little flash prompt groups, and Priceless Joy is such a kind and generous fellow … Continue reading A Voice in the Water – FFfAW

A Wretched Sort of Desire – 3LineTales
Irina watched the young, handsome man returning to her--his powerful stride, his lean, fresh body with its smell of smoked ham. He was a good choice; he even came with his own truck.

Give the People What They Want – 3LineTales
