Friday
This prompt demands of you a flash in 600 words or less. In The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Flash Fiction, Lex Williford discusses writing 15-minute fictions, day after day, for forty days, a flood of flash. For your Friday Flash, you can take as long or as little as you'd like, as long as you meet these requirements.
- Someone has 15 minutes to get something done.
- It must include these five words: swamp, flippy-floppy, swivel, tentative, slippery.
- Tick--in all its varied meanings--should be an image that appears throughout.
- It should end with this phrase: the feathers of a bird.
