Welcome to Linnette's special place of exploring new worlds through the realm of fiction...

Any Writer Wanna-Be's? Or Writer's With Writer's Block?

Would you like to try your hand at a bit of fiction? Or maybe you are a writer and suffer from writer's block on your current WIP. Maybe I can help. Simply take my prompt and write a Flash Fiction story of 100-500 words. I'd love to read what you come up with. Simply type or copy your finished story into the comment box (clearly specify if you want me to critique it for you). If the story doesn't fit in one comment, simply continue it into a second comment. If you are anonymous, please remember to leave me a name at the end of your post so we know who to credit.

Here's your prompt:

“His heart twisted as he sat on the couch and watched his five-year-old son giggle at the face washing their dog administered.” 

Now, don't be shy! Have your story in to me by Wednesday, January 19th at midnight. I'll read each story carefully and post the winner on Friday, January 21st in next weeks addition of "An Odyssey In Prose!"

Happy writing!

P.S. I was there!

"To You, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary." Psalm 28:1-2, ESV

"We love because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19, ESV) "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her..." (Ephesians 5:25, ESV)
