Illusions


No, this amusement park isn't burning down.  The sun is simply setting in dramatic fashion, splashing the nearby clouds with it's red light.  A quick glance conveys a different story, though:  an illusion of fire.  Write a little Flashy Fiction in which something seen at a glance turns out to be something else.  Does it cause angst, panic, misplaced trust?

SCHOOL'S OUT


The end has come.
No more pencils, no more books.
Have the students been dismissed, or have
they been banished to a life of ignorance?
Your story is one of desertion and desolation.
Write it!
