Hello everyone and welcome to my weekly “Fiction in A Flash Challenge!” WEEK #17. Each week I’ll be featuring an image and inviting you to write a Flash Fiction or Non-Fiction piece inspired by that image in any format and genre of your choosing. Maximum word count: 750 words.
Please put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at My email address. by DEADLINE: 4pm EDT on Thursday, SEPTEMBER, 17th . Subject: Fiction in a Flash Challenge. If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: The response to the prompts has been just wonderful. As a result, I’ll be sharing all entries received, and, my own contribution here AS I RECEIVE THEM. Rather than posting all of them only over a few days. Thanks to everyone for the amazing support.
Here is the week #17 Image Prompt.

😊 My work here is done. I miss the beach as well. We moved out west of the mountains and it’s been years now since I’ve felt the sand under my feet. I love the ocean.
