"Turn off the camera."

Sunday Post

I look at the beautician. "Chop it all off."

One Month

My brother did a little jig-slash-breakdance in the aisle. One month until Christmas and he was already almost peeing himself in excitement.

But he had forgotten the deal we made in January.

All of the lights went out.

"You're late."
"I swear, I have a good excuse!"
"You'd better. You've got three seconds to explain."

I look at him. "Look. We have to end this. We're over."

"Why?" he asks, pouting.

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...

Black Sheep

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!

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