Now accepting flash fiction stories to post in this blog. It is a great way to get your name out there and with each submission you can include a short two to three sentence biography and a link out to one of your websites, blogs, or books.
The flash fiction stories accepted are in all science fiction genres but please no swearing as many teens will be visiting this website. Horror and monsters are fine as long as the story is tastefully done. We reserve the right to reject any story for any reason.
The stories should be less than 1500 words in length and be original, meaning that they have not been published anywhere else. Flash fiction poetry is also highly encouraged.
Just a quick example from me J.T. Dusky.
Ernie the Kidbot
The monster stood 20 feet tall, and I was staring just above its knee,
I could feel its flaming hot glare on the top of my head.
Was this the end? Could I run fast enough to escape?
I took a step back without turning around, just hoping it would let me go.
Like a mouse backing up from a cat ready to pounce, would this be my last day?
The searing heat on my head became hotter as I continued to step backward.
I could start to smell the foul stench of my own hair burning.
I dropped to my knees to escape..."Please I don't know what you are or
where you've come from but please, turn off your heat ray!"
The metallic monster didn't budge.
I became lightheaded and could feel myself collapsing towards the floor.
As I lay on the floor, the temperature of the room started to moderate.
Beside me, the wooden floor burst into flames and I lay there helpless,
hoping that this behemoth would walk away.
It didn't. Time seemed to go very slowly. Was it a minute? 15 minutes?
I don't know. The burning floor was now just smoking and the smell of ashfilled my nostrils. Just then, through squinted eyes, I could make out a form
walking towards me from behind the steel beast. As the form got closer, I
could see that it was a child of about 10 years old.
Has Ernie been mean to you? The boy shouted at me like a child yelling at another
while in a parental role-playing game.
"Yes!" I pleaded. "Please tell him to stop!"
"I can't tell Ernie to stop, Ernie is my daddy!"
Just then the metal monster turned his attention away from me and swung his enormous head with one eye towards the child. The blazing fire gun shut off and when it did I saw my opportunity.
As quick as a seagull swooping down on a french fry, I lunged towards the child and knocked him to the ground and wrestled the controlling device out of his hands. I then hit the switch on the side of it that was positioned under a green glowing light. A noise like a room fan turning off filled the air and with that my nightmare was over. The behemoth, for now, was quieted.
So you have nothing to lose by sending me a flash fiction story. And, more readers will find you!
