My entry for this weeks flash thingy. On the "thumb" theme. 

Just a short piece. I'm not sure if you'd call it flash...I just wanted to write it...so I did :). 

Never tried this before. But, like flash fiction, I think there's something wonderful about a moment or feeling captured in so few words. I had to have a go...though I may have missed the point... 

An idea I've been wrestling with...revised too many times now. Any comments and criticisms very welcome. 

Just a bit of slightly sick fun...couldn't resist doing my own "Rock" piece, and all Andrea's Fairground stuff put the theme in my head. 

A piece of flash - hopefully to go into the collection that Shay is organising. Be good to know what you think. 

I found this really hard. I ended up chopping the words down and down because I felt I was wasting them for the sake of it...hope it's not too short. It's late too, so this may look like nonesense when I read it back tomorrow...guess I shouldn't post 'til then..but I'm going to anyway :). 

Inspired by a dream (If anyone has any idea what is means then feel free to suggest ;). I wrote it down because the imagery felt very rich...and because at this time of night I'll write any old.......and since I've not written in a while, I just hoped that sharing might help me back into it. 

For this weeks word challenge "enchanted". I didn't have much time so it's a bit of a silly one... 

For a change I've tried to go up to the word limit. And for another change I've tried a bit of horror... I see Vincent Price in this one ;), it possibly also comes with 3D specs. I'm sorry, it has no Christmas cheer in it... 

This is the prologue and first chapter of my first attempt at writing a book. Now revised. All feedback more than welcome... 

If anyone has the time to read this I will be very grateful... and even more grateful for any feedback, criticism and advice. I hope you like it...
