Help?

In the drabble, Help? the main character has some rather unusual powers, but then this piece is fantasy.

Secret

Secret is another prompt piece. The characters are two sisters. Will Madeline be able to keep Josie's big secret?

Window

Window was a Daily Post prompt. I really liked the "wrong way" picture and the lighting. The story is about the young woman reading and the shadows cast across her on the sofa: does art imitate life or is it the other way around?

Fight

Fight is a drabble. It was inspired by current events.

Curb Appeal

Curb Appeal is a drouble (200 words) that explores the darker side of human nature.

The Quest

Another lego picture prompt from Josh Mosey, The Quest. This one recalls Arthurian legend.

The Monkey's Pirate

The Monkey's Pirate is meant to be a humorous drabble and is, of course, somewhat inspired by A Horse and His Boy, by C.S. Lewis.

Dirty Brushes

Dirty Brushes is a piece about an autistic painter.

Left on a Shelf

The drabble Left of a Shelf is a dystopian piece, but I clearly drew inspiration from modern events and culture. If any of this resonates with you, you may wish to google search about the dumbing down of America.

Envy

The 100 worder, Envy, was inspired by the picture.

Ornickarr's photo brought back to me memories of walking past the open doors of the Bäckerei in München to Englischer Garten, where the warm air rushed out into the cold, wet streets enveloping me like a blanket, and my stomach growled at the delicious smells of fresh-baked pastries.

Drop

Drop is a trabble (300 words) that is set in Portland. It is about breaking out of negativity and living in the moment.

Misstep

Flow

Flow is a 200 word piece about a Superhero who gets discovered by the authorities.

Secrets

Secrets is a horror drabble.


Die Geister blieb zurück in den Knochen des ausgeweideten Sanatorium. Begraben Geheimnisse, kämpfte die Verlorene ungezählte Geschichten zu verbreiten. Denn unter den Toten waren Märchenerzähler gefoltert.

Vertuschungen sind nie perfekt. Papier Aufzeichnungen verschwanden im Feuerofen . Der Nachweis gelöscht, verwelkt durch die Zeit und die öffentliche Apathie.

Ein Abschiedsbrief fand aus dem Blut das Schicksal vom Sanitätssoldat. Spuren hervorging sprechen zu einer Geschichte der grausig Schrecken.

Die Ermittler tief gegraben. Die moderne Wissenschaft traf alten Verbrechen; Luminol glühte in Schwarzlicht.

Unter verdrehten Eichen kamen die Leichen hervor. Der Erster. Dann mehr.

Geheimnisse sind Aussteiger mit Verachtung für Schloss und Schlüssel.

(Translation mine.)

Object

Object is about the verb rather than the noun. Welcome to the modern courtroom.

Contrast

This is one of my personal favorites.

Dacha

Dacha is a drabble about a writer.

Screen Door

Screen Door is a response to a prompt. I found the picture first, and the story followed.

Connection

Connection is a concept drabble. I'll let this one speak for itself.
