Flash Fiction

 

I love writing flash fiction. So I thought I would make this to see if anyone else is interested. So what makes flash fiction?

Less than 300 words, or just very few words

Medies Res, or starting in the action

Strong Characters

Interesting topic

As the name implies, Flash Fiction is Fiction. No nonfiction.

Have Fun. I will edit work, Do my own, and do other things.

I guess I will try it... I've never done Medues Res, though... and never done flash fiction... we'll see how this goes.

I finished. I'm not too confident in it, though... is it possible that I write and submit two entries?

Music

I arch my wings, soaring over a land filled with beauty. I stretch my fingertips out, skimming dark green treetops. The music carries me onward, its sweet song taking me through an infinite world filled with wonder. I see everything.

Fire, water, earth, wind....

Heartbreak, joy, hope, peace....

Birth, life, death, and rebirth....

Victory, loss, strength, weakness....

For those precious, moments, I am the music. Every note belongs to me, filling me with these fantastic emotions. And then I tuck in my wings, letting it carry me down to the earth on a gentle breeze.

My wings fade and I jerk back to reality. The performer steps away from the piano, taking a modest bow before stepping offstage. Tumultuous applause thunders throughout the concert hall. I join in somewhat dazedly, the effects of the music still rebounding through my mind. Images of what I saw glow in the back of my mind as I exit with the crowd. 

I'll have that moment with me forever.

Because music is power.
