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…

This, my last will and testament…

I bequeath to those around me all my cookies and hallmark movie collection, which is very small. Perhaps by the time I die—and this document assumes its true purpose, my collection will have grown.

Today I have been inspired to write this will because of the futility of Christmas. This season really reminds you of the fleeting nature of human existence as experienced by turtles.

To a turtle, all things are passing, rushing, and, in a way, pointless. And at Christmas, the turtles remember.
