Flash: The Other Side of Sorrow
Here's a flash piece I wrote some time ago and forgot about. It's a bit more literary that what I usually write, but still speculative. If you could see another version of yourself, what would it be and how would that vision affect you? THE OTHER SIDE OF SORROW by JM Williams It was a … Continue reading Flash: The Other Side of Sorrow

Flash Fiction: “Nothing Else to Consider”
I wrote this story for a specific submissions call that went out more than a year ago. The publisher was looking for science fiction that examned the implications of new, real technology. Unfortunately, something happened with the publisher and the call was cancelled. So I'd like to share the story with you here. This story … Continue reading Flash Fiction: “Nothing Else to Consider”

Aurora – Flash Fiction
