[writing] Stories from the flash fiction open round
by
The Flash Fiction Open has been quite successful. I’ve identified twenty responses to the challenge here: [ jlake.com | LiveJournal ]. (If I’ve missed one, please let me know!)
I’ve pulled together the stories here as links. I’m contemplating doing an electronic (or physical) chapbook, but hopefully I’ll lie down and get over that impulse to publish. In the mean time, since this would make a very unwieldy poll, I think I’ll recruit several celebrity judges to read and identify a handful of finalists, then construct a shortlist poll to find a winner for the fabulous prizes that will accrue.
Here’s the story starter:

Tried to squeak in a title for mine:

Fixed!
Actually, mine is titled “Gone”.
Fixed as well!
