It’s been a long time between drinks here at Asylum Windows, but I’m pleased to report that my 100 word horror story Captive Audience has received an honourable mention in the Necon Ebooks monthly flash fiction contest.
The story will be published in their annual Flash Fiction Anthology, but right now you can read it free on the Necon website.
I’ve had a request to post some of my flash fiction, so I have.
First up, here’s my ten-word terror.
POL POT’S LAST WORDS.
‘It was art. Transforming people. Those fields were outdoor exhibitions.’
And here’s my 80 word story that I mentioned in the previous post.
