Cutting Loose 1 (Friday Flash)

-
Broken glass shards. Haphazard debris left-over from last night's episode. One more shattered mirror. One more outburst. Shit's getting old. This time. Heh. This time I fooled them. Slipped. Fell. Ground my shoulder into the sharp glass. These well-fed idiots have gotten tired of my fits. My rantings and ravings are starting to bore the orderlies. Good. They overlooked the splinter I slid under my bunk. For later.

    I have a feeling even worse things are about to happen shortly.

    It puts me in mind a little of the deep cunning and planning of Hannibal Lecter,

      Yeah, that's a fair bet; in Wermspittle things can always get worse.

      Wow. That's quite a comparison. Thanks. I like to think of Peter here as a very desperate, exceptionally driven man in an intolerable situation. He's not quite a Campbellian 'Omnicompetent man,' but more like McGoohan's Number Six...sort of...and he definitely has a plan in mind. It just might not work out quite as he'd like...

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. 2015 Chemistry Lessons (1) Posted: 8/28/15 Silas and the Patchwerk Girl, a story from Wermspittle. 2014 Martha Posted: 7/30/14 Some family resemblances run deeper than mere appearances.

Three Little Words...

So, with the demise of the Three Word Wednesday blog, the adventures of Bernitte and their serial Red Handed has been on hiatus, much like Bujilli. I considered making use of various random generators out on the web to provide a fresh set of three words every week...but none of them really quite hit the spot, not like the Three Word Wednesday prompts. It was a fun weekly challenge, for a while, a nice companion to producing a new episode of Bujilli's misadventures in Wermspittle (and Beyond) every Thursday and the Eight-Word Serial I was doing for Zeelia as well. In a way the Three Words challenge was a sort of warm-up for Bujilli & Zeelia both, and I have missed writing those serials quite a bit. Stopping wasn't exactly voluntary, but I don't wish to bore anyone with the gory details of my little excursion into serious illness and slow-going recovery. Let's just say that 'I got better,' (...more or less...) and leave it at that. I've spent a l

AEDM2017, Day 30...Last Star on the Left

Art Everyday Month  is an artistic challenge established by Leah Koildas at her blog  Creative Every Day . She explains it pretty well on a page dedicated to the  Challenge. Essentially, those participating set themselves the goal of producing some one creative work each day for the entire month of November. In some respects it is like  Inktober , which I opted out of due to a lot of scheduling conflicts...but maybe next year I can do both challenges. So, for this year, for Creative every Day Month, I will be posting fresh new drawings and other artwork here at my personal blog. some of these will get statted-up as critters for our  Hereticwerks  blog--you didn't really think otherwise did you?--but some will be just for the sake of trying some technique out, or to do something I haven't done in a while. Today I did this... Oh go ahead and click on it. You know you want to... I wanted to do something with light, so a star sounded like a good idea and since the
