Flash Fiction Friday
Hello friends and welcome to Flash Fiction Friday, where we share some of the pieces written during our live storytelling event! These stories were written in 5 minutes to a blind-drawn prompt. Some are unfinished, some are only a few words, but they are all the beautiful product of spontaneous creativity.
If you read a story here that you wrote at a Story Wars event and want writing credits, shoot us an email and we’ll add your name!
Here we go…
Prompt: “It only took five seconds–”
It only took five seconds to realize this was not the right party. I walked in the front door to warm shouts and welcoming voices but as I moved through the room not a single face registered with me. I had a sixpack under each arm and I was uncertain where to place them. Someone clapped me on the shoulder “glad you came” but the voice foreign to me. I made my way to the kitchen and found a huddled group of women–they quieted as I approached. “I brought beer,” I offered. They smiled gently and directed me towards the red Polar Ice chest in the corner. “You can set it with Tom’s.” I don’t know any Toms, any Tommys, and Thomas. Where am I?
