Use this photo to guide your imagination. It was taken in the New Orleans French Quarter several years ago. Look at the details, the expressions on the people waiting to go into The Court of Two Sisters restaurant. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

A big juicy bone? Alms for the poor? Forgiveness?

What is your main character begging for? And does he/she get it? What are the consequences? Flash us your fiction today, with a fair amount of cajoling, mooching or pleading involved. Then post it here. Please. Don’t make me beg.

The title of this work is called 'Another Empty Room.'  I wonder why...?

BENEATH THE SURFACE

The harder you dig, the more you uncover.
And sometimes, you bury your head in sand and miss details.

Take the title of a story or article in a magazine/newspaper and 
write a fictional story with that as your inspiration. 
Don't retell the story, give it a fresh new life!
We want as many details as you see fit written into your story.
What will you uncover? Dig deep and let your muse run free!

The Olympic Spirit

With the Olympics winding down, the prompt today is another wide open one.  Write about a fictional athlete in competition or training -or- invent your own Olympic event -or- write about gold, silver or bronze.  Let the Olympic spirit carry you away today.

GHOST WRITER

Your muse seems to be writing itself.

Maybe you're not in control of what you write.

There's a Ghost Writer underfoot.

You're the ghost, write your observations of the author's writing process!

Sign...sign...everywhere a sign...

Happy Friday Flashy Fiction Writers!

PARALAX VIEWS

A pleasant day in the park.

You share a bench with a dark haired stranger.

A young mother and her child pass by and you observe them. The same scene, but different points of view. Write from BOTH perspectives, He Sees/She Sees.

Down to the Wire

The Olympic games are now in full swing.  We see races won by a few hundredths of a second and competitions judged by hundredths of a point.  Today is a wide open prompt.  Write about an athletic competition, a race,  a narrow margin or about being judged.  Most of all,  have fun.
