 | 6 Sec. Trailer | Odin Roark | Short Story | 3 | 0.03 | Mar 25, 2013 |
Summary:A flash fiction ode to those tween twits who keep the marketing departments employed. Used to be, you 'd seen the only parts of a movie worth paying for when you'd watched the 2 or 3 minute trailer, but now, it takes only 6 seconds; unless, of course, you want to see the 2 or 3 minute trailer that the 6 second trailer was previewing so you'd hopefully pluck down the 12 bucks to see the 7200 second movie that is due in, oh, let's be fair, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months from now? And we thought adolescent mentality necessarily harbored only short attention spans.Chapters: |

 | Works | mikejackson1127 | Short Story | 3 | 1.16 | Mar 17, 2013 |
Summary:This one takes place several centuries ago. It's probably going to come off as preachy toward the end, but, in my opinion, much less so than previous stories I've submitted.
It could, IMO, be summed up as "Judge not, lest ye be judged."
Pros and cons, please.Chapters: |
 | Grave Issues | mikejackson1127 | Short Story | 3 | 0.80 | Mar 11, 2013 |
Summary:This is a much shorter piece than the others I've published. It is a dark tale about a hypocritical man who takes the law into his own hands and experiences a unique justice.
Pros and cons. I'll lie down quietly for surgery...Chapters: |
 | Surreal Dummy | Odin Roark | Short Story | 3 | 0.13 | Mar 10, 2013 |
Summary:With all the political raucous taking place of late over privacy infringement, e.g., drones, hacking, et al, I thought it might be interesting for readers to picture themselves from the POV of this short story of a mannequin noting all the things he should perhaps not be seeing. So, from a writer's POV, some flash fiction on the art of seeing what is arguably important to be seen.Chapters: |
 | The Ebbing | Ann Everett | Short Story | 8 | 0.38 | Feb 6, 2013 |
Summary:This was the very first thing I ever posted on this site. However, at the time,it was about 1800 words. I've chopped it down to a little over 600 in order to enter contest. It needs lots of help. I'm concerned with the repetition of old woman, so help me there if you can. I worry about the ending as well, I'm not sure if I should have them leave the room together or not, so tell me what you think. Even a new title would be good, but I can't come up with one. So, anything you have to offer is much appreciated.Chapters: |

 | Specters | Chalice Divine | Short Story | 5 | 0.14 | Nov 12, 2012 |
Summary:Tis is a brief submission I flashed out, thinking of a market on Duotrope that is seeking experimental stream of conciousness type stuff with a twist. I think this simple bit of flow may fit the bill. High school for me seemed a surreal carnival of creative and painful crucibles. If it was like that for you, perhaps you will relate. In any case, heres comes a flow with a flip. Chapters: |

Summary:This is another piece of flash fiction about Cowgirl Kristie - a real person I had the pleasure to meet in the Badlands, S.D. this past summer. As you can see, she left quite an impression.
Any feedback is welcome, particularly if you think her story would be interesting enough to delve into a bit more and develop into a longer story or perhaps a novel. Chapters: |
