One of my favorite writing games is something I call three words. I post three words and encourage you to write a flash fiction piece containing those three words. If you would like to challenge me – post three words for me and next week I will post a piece of flash fiction using your words. Enjoy!
Three Words
- Petal
- Breeze
- Page
Flash Fiction
Using the three words: Keyboard, Loaf, and Cloud (from last week)
The cloud drifted through the sky like a whimsical bunny hopping through the forest...
I blinked and looked down at the my fingers where they rested on the keyboard, then back up at the screen. Did I really just write that? A whimsical bunny? Really?
In frustration I attack the backspace key and obliterate the offending sentence. Now where was I?
The hill rose out of the mountain like a loaf of bread.
Okay I stink at similes.
There is something therapeutic -- even obviously spiritual -- about watching jacaranda petals drift slowly to the floor. I find it easier to lose myself on those cool autumn breezes than to get out of bed.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting harder every day...
Then, I turn, and see her face. She's like my own jacaranda tree. "Hello, Page."
She smiled back. "Time for your medication."
"Already? Okay, okay."

ReplyDelete@Joan -- Thanks! I will use your words in next Wednesday's post :)
Thanks, Krista... I think I was inspired... Or, maybe it's because I got 8 hours sleep? :)
