[writing] Flash fiction open round

[jaylake]

Per a suggestion from tillyjane, and with agreement from criada whose photo this is, I propose a flash fiction open round. Using criada's photo as your inspiration, write a piece of flash (500 words or less) and post it here in comments, or on your own blog, with a link here in comments. If I get a decent response, we'll have a voting poll later, with prizes. Go to

Not bad for a guy who says he doesn't write flash...

The sun was cold that day. The water was quiet. Even the minnows had moved to deeper, slower water, as if to recognize and respect the old man.

I laid my hat where Hemingway had fished, and walked on.

That's like nanoflash, dude. Heh.

Well, yes. I fail at verbosity, even of the two-page variety. :-)

... but it's still way too long for twitterfic.
