Glimpses: Tales Unending

In the ten plus years I’ve been writing flash fiction there have been characters which presented themselves and refused to shut up. Some had their universes expanded into novels. Some still bicker in my brain.

A select few are stubborn, limelight hogging individuals who demand their stories continue through flash fiction installments. This collection celebrates (or is held hostage by) the last group. These series allow me to work with set characters in a quick format, providing its own challenges.

First Challenge: All the weekly stories are based upon writing prompts. Prompts which fit a series don’t happen every day. And even as the list master, I can’t finagle the list to include more.

Second Challenge: None of these began as planned series. These characters popped out of the prompts and announced they were sticking around. Even I don’t know where (or if!) their stories will end, but they enjoy every time they are highlighted.

As a bonus, this collection contains new installments which have appeared on my site. Join me and these hooligans through continuing (or beginning!) with volume two: Glimpses: Tales Unending.
