Hello, everyone! Thanks so much for joining me here today. I hope each of you had a wonderful start to the New Year!
I hope that I can continue to tantalize your muse with these challenges throughout 2021.
Here are the guidelines.
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 on this page … or email it to me at My email address. by ,DEADLINE: 4pm EDT on Thursday, January 7th 2021. 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.
Please note the shorter time span for submitting entries is for this week only. From next week the new image prompt will be posted as always on THURSDAY.
I’ll be sharing all entries received, and, my own contribution here AS I RECEIVE THEM. Thanks to everyone for the amazing support throughout 2020. I’m excited to begin the journey into 2021.
Here is the Image Prompt #30.
I hope the image inspires you! Come and join in the fun.

Looks like a fun one, Soooz. Here is my one-liner. “Hey, Frank. You know what this lever does?”

Reminds me of the film “Independence Day’ Actor Will Smith used it several times when flying by the seat of his pants. (Did I ever mention I hate flying. I need to be cruising at 20,000 feet before we take off. Bring on the Margarittas) 😊

Hahaha. I finally made peace with flying. This was after three near misses. Cant’t worry about things I can’t control.

That’s a great philosophy, John. My logical side tells me not to worry, and I always manage to ignore it. Sigh. 😁

Nice prompt, Soooz. We’ll see if anything comes, or if I have the time to write anything. 🙂 I’m still on tour with “Ghostly Interference.” Maybe I can think of something to tie into the new book. 🙂
