Flash Fiction Month

The Belly of the BeastKings Cross St Pancras is undergoing essential maintenance. The platform is crammed with people, two rows deep. It’s hot and it reeks of sweat and dust. The stripped concrete walls, exposed ironwork and temporary steel-plate floors make it seem like a bomb shelter.   
Red-faced, in his starched bankers’ pinstripes, a commuter tugs at his collar. He feels like he’s been waiting here for at least an hour already, and god-damn-it this heat is unbearable.          “Which train are you waiting on?” He asks the rough-looking builder-type next to him. Instead of answerin The Belly of the Beast

A VisitorI wake up. It’s the middle of the night and there are noises coming from the lounge. Which is when I remember that I left the window open. Stupid. Clutching the half-pool-cue I keep by the side of my bed, I creep across the hallway and peer in through the lounge door.   
A pair of legs dangles in through the window. I watch as a man lets himself into the room. There’s no one here to help me.          “Get out,” I say, trying to sound dangerous. But he doesn’t respond. He doesn’t even look at me. He just sits down on the couch.

Flash Fiction Month

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 5:00 PM
"I... drove to the Hotel de Paris like a lord, in a cab I hired for my last fifty copecks."
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky - "Notes from Underground"

Sooooo...

I was out of town over the weekend and it's taken me a little while to get back into flashing. Hopefully I'll catch up the ones I've missed. I did have several ideas while I was driving up and down the motorway and maybe I'll use them for that purpose - after all, the appeal of this fantastic event was to try and come up with something new every day (in my more ambitious moments I think it would actually be useful to try and do that every day of the year). But then again I'm pretty lazy.

Just posted a new one. Might have a go at the 55 word challenge for tomorrow. We'll see...

Happy flashing flashers.

Incase this is the first you've heard of Flash Fiction Month:

Thanks K.

I am still around, but not that often (clearly). Haven't been writing much prose lately - all hands to the screenplay - but that's no reason to forget about dear old dA.

How have you been?
