"Once he was just another lonely pseudo-organic battlesuit. Cooped-up in a stuffy old locker hidden away in some nameless meta-bunker. Buried deep beneath the curdled crust of a world where the enemy boiled away the atmosphere during the last engagement more than 27,000 years ago. Now he's a fully autonomous two-fisted ray-slinging adventurer fighting his way across a broken and irradiated subterranean wasteland, looking for a hat he can call his own, and a way off this cheap hunk of half-molten rock..."

Instead of some guy in a cheap suit, this time the guy is a cheap suit...

We'll be coming back to this one shortly...

Index: Friday Flash Fiction by Garrisonjames

Friday Flash
by Garrisonjames

The goal is to post a brand new piece of flash fiction every Friday. Most flash fiction clocks in at under 1,000 or 2,000 words, but can be as brief as 365 words, 101 words, 140 words, five or six sentences, even just six words. There's a lot of room for experimentation and exploration.
The Friday Flash meme is hosted by the nice people at the Friday Flash website. Sometimes I use the prompts, or I use other prompts, other times I don't use any prompts. It all depends on my mood and the phase of the moon.

You can find out more about the challenge, and what stories are available each Friday by clicking over to the Friday Flash G+ Group..
Stories are listed from Newest to Oldest.
Thanks for taking a look.

Mr. Machen, Strongbow Cider and a Hill of Beans

It's a beautiful, sunny day and I've just returned from a pleasant walk out amongst the towering oaks and lesser trees of one of the local parks. Had a shot of pumpkin syrup in my coffee while I was out. Warm sun and a cool breeze, the leaves are just beginning to change and we're on the very threshold of October. It's good to be alive.

This past weekend, on Sunday, we went off to attend the Second Foundation Group's discussion of Mr. Arthur Machen. We met Mr. Till from the FATE SF & Everwayan  blogs for brunch there at Merlin's Rest, a Britophile-type pub. Brunch was pretty decent all in all, and I was happy to sample Strongbow Cider once and for all. Wonderful stuff. Especially for breakfast. Yum.

So...

In regards to Mr. Machen...

"Sorcery and sanctity...these are the only realities. Each is an ecstasy, a withdrawal from the common life."
...I've read a great deal of his work, especially his weird fiction, some of his essays, The Hill of Dre…
