Sunset.  The beautiful end to sunny days.  For many kids, this weekend will be the sunset of their summer vacations.  For today's prompt, write a little Flashy Fiction about a sunset --describe a beautiful sunset scene like the one pictured above, tell us a story about something happening at sunset, about how you feel when watching a sunset, or, maybe, about the sunset of a life.

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? 

Sunsets

Sunset.  That time of day when part of the world is transitioning from their period of light to their period of dark.  Some find incredible beauty in sunset, a relaxing peaceful time of transition, while others fear the coming night. Sometimes, a sunset is a metaphor for something else.  Write a little Flashy Fiction about a sunset(s).

Good vs. Evil ...or just some clouds

 

Good vs. Evil?

The Light vs. The Dark?

Or is it just the wind blowing the clouds off to reveal clear skies in time for sunset?

Write a bit of Flashy Fiction to paint this scene as an epic struggle or simply nature.

Escape to Paradise

With cold weather bringing snow to parts of the U.S. and Hurricane Sandy pounding the Atlantic coast, there are lots of folks thinking about a tropical escape.  Write a little Flashy Fiction about your escape to paradise.
