Flash Fiction Challenge - Opening Line Decision Time
Last week's flash fiction challenge over at the terribleminds blog was to write a 15-words-or-less opening line. I missed that by making the mistake of putting it off until later. My bad. This week, however, the challenge is to select one of the 15-words-or-less opening lines and write a 1,000-word-or-less piece of flash fiction. Now don't getting all excited on me; I haven't finished it yet... actually, I haven't started it BUT I have, at last selected an opening line. Of the five pages worth of opening lines, there were a few that were clearly over the limit, and a number that didn't grab my creative conscious by what passes for its throat... and there were a number of opening lines that missed the throat but caught my attention. My first pass brought the number of lines down to 20 written by: Arwa Stone , mikepaul , Jera , Tony Taylor , Kevin George , Alecia Millar , thatcalamity , Jess , jebdarsh , JD , Julia , Brennan , Gabe K , feralbulb , Sean Tadsen ...
