Snake Eyes

My father claimed I was bad luck.
Said the single mole on the back of each hand was a sign.
Called me Snake Eyes.

Sunday Funday

I stared at the cat. "Did you just talk?"

It stared back. "No."

Friday Funkday

I looked sideways, sleep still threatening to drag me back under. Wait... does that say 9:30???

Dang it! I sat up, pushing my hair away from my face and scrambled out of bed. The note said to be there on time. I paused in front of the mirror, my face a little swollen, my pajamas far from presentable.

It definitely said don't be late. But more important than that; it said it would change my life...

Another Flashy Drawing coming atcha...

Since Heather had such a swell idea with the 1st Flashy Drawing, and everyone contributed such terrific stuff here - well...we thought it was so nice, we'd try it twice!

Wendy Sparrow - congrats!

Who will be our next winner?

Well, the only way to win it is to be in it. So....get ready to write more Flashy Fiction!

In case you're new - or just need to know da rules, here goes:

Here's how it works:

From now until the end of November, each time you leave a new flash in the comments I will award you an entry to the drawing. On December 1st I'll put all the entries into a hat (or something equivalent like Heather's Tupperware bowl!) and the winner will be chosen at random to receive a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com.

Since I personally am funding the prize, everyone is eligible including prompters.

Please remember we do not critique here. The entries are not based on your level of talent - it is solely on participation. Encouragement, praise or other comments are not eligible towards an entry, but are welcomed.

So get ready, get set - and Flash!

And the Winner Is:

Thank you all for participating in our Flashy Drawing! The winner chosen by random selection* is...

WENDY SPARROW

Wendy, please either email me at heather (at) heatherLHansen (dot) com so that I have your email address or leave it in the comments. I'll get the gift certificate over to you ASAP.

Everyone else, I had lots of fun! I hope you continue to hang out. I really enjoyed reading every one's flash. This was fun, right? Maybe we should do it again at the beginning of the year.



*I couldn't figure out how to randomly draw a name other than tiny pieces of paper in a Tupperware bowl. It was time consuming! I seriously need to figure out a system for next time!

Sunday Funday

It was the best--and worst--night of my life.

Shrieking Saturday

"I'm so done with Halloween, Robbie! Take those stupid horns off your head."

"Yeah. Babe, I've been meaning to talk to you about the horns..."

Friday Funkday

I looked between the costumes that Maddie was holding up. She rolled her eyes. "Seriously. Witch or Devil?"

"They look the same." I shrugged. Then I glanced down at my own costume. Could I really go to the party dressed like this??




(Happy early Halloween!)
