Flash Fiction Friday VI

: Image via Wikipedia

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted a flash fiction prompt. Why didn’t somebody poke me?

It’s a good way to stoke the fire; take a break from other projects; warm up your writing muscles; stretch your imagination. Give it a whirl, even if your main focus is non-fiction, blog writing, or poetry.

Keep in mind that every word counts toward advancing your story. It’s like wearing spandex — you can’t hide a thing.

This week’s prompt is:

When you feel you have to criticize Sam’s meat, something is definitely wrong.

Use this as a jumping off point. You may include the sentence in your piece, but you don’t have to.

Try to stay within 500 words. The POV is up to you.

I’ll post mine on Monday. Post yours on your site, and leave a link in the comments and I will read, read, read.

Have fun!

Share and Enjoy:

I’m glad you’re bringing these back and I hope to participate soon (too much going on this week). This prompt made me giggle. I must get my mind out of the gutter.

Hi! This “meaty” prompt was addressed here. I think I just created a serial killer. Interesting…

No worries, dear — there’s no deadline. I haven’t gotten to it myself, I’ve been working a lot. I still plan on giving it a go too, when I get a few minutes. I’d love to see what you come up with.

(So good to see you here )
