string(10) "expression"
This week we’re challenged to write an interesting flash fiction under 100 words using the words spring, coffee, and lizard. What insane person thought of this question? Me!
Did you come from Mikki Cober?
Go back and see what she writes! But then come back.
Here’s my attempt…
Sand sucked. It rubbed between Kerry’s heel and sneaker, scratched under her eyelid, and crunched between her teeth. Lizards sucked too, especially the fast ones. She should have stayed with her car. Rational thinking, however, had left her when the tire blew up and her escape came to a screeching halt.
The morning sun beamed death and desolation all around her. One cup of iced coffee would put a spring in her step. Instead, she had half a bottle of water. In the distance, a police car approached. Damn. She turned and ran. She’d take her chances with the lizard.
Travel on to Beth Carter‘s flash fiction.
Run Kerry, Run! This is great.
Haha, fabulous.
Nice one! I should have posted a lizard pic. I’ll try to find one.
Not what I expected. Loved it!
This was perfect!!! Definitely makes me want to know what she’s running from the law for and does she make it????
Fabulous! Short suspense, nicely done 🙂
See, this is why I LOVE your writing! You rock!
Perfectly set scene! Totally want to know what’s next.
Yes…! Loved it! Makes me want to read more.
I love how you built up so much tension in 100 words. Awesome!
