Flash Fiction...

When I knocked at an elderly lady's house to collect her deceased husband's clothes for charity, I didn't expect to find him still wearing them...

A flash read of 2 very confused minds.

The story behind this could run into a deep and unerving one. Could be onto something with this one if you think about it.

I LOVE YOUR WORK. It always bends the mind.

Thank you so much Mark! Was actually playing around with ideas for this a couple of days ago. I don't know....

You know I love your work too! Big big fan :)

When i read it, in a funny way i my own visions of a norman bates character. I cant explain it properly but i think you understand what i am trying to say.
A very disturbed person maybe?

I was hoping for that reaction. The woman selling her deceased husband's clothes while he's still wearing them would have to be pretty ...warped...wouldn't you say........? ;)

Just a bit. I am sorry if my answer was a little confusing but i can see you have grasped what i was trying to say.
Go with it Tina, make something out of it. If anybody can, YOU CAN.

This makes me smile. And I imagine the occupant of the clothes might smile also!

i didn't know much about flash fiction but this give me a hint of what is it... but still i can't comment on this much... i will review it again when i understand through google what is flash fiction....

[Tina H.W.]

Hi IP :) Thank you for stopping by. If you haven't already googled flash fiction, well it's a very, very short story. Sometimes they are no longer than 20 words or less, but still has the essence of a short or longer story. It is also known as Micro- Fiction or Sudden - Fiction . :)

okay, so is there any guideline of it? i mean is it like the other stories of yours where there is a twist in the tale? or just a smallest version of story?

[Tina H.W.]

I don't think there are any guidelines. Anything goes. None of my flash fiction stories are a shirt version of longer stories. But most (if not all ) stories I write have a twist! I don't know that I can write any other kind haha :)

[Inject Positivity]

well you have encouraged me to move on to stories... would you teach me how to write such twist giving stories? you are a master of it... and i know you can write anything....

[Tina H.W.]

Haha thank you! Seriously, I can't teach! They just come to me and I write them. Literally anyone can write them! But thank you, I'm very flattered :)
