TLT: Boredom Buster

I only went to the party because I was bored out of my skull, and that’s why I talked to the peculiar guy who was leaning against the wall, too. 

I told him to go ahead when he told me he did magic tricks and would I want to see one, expecting him to maybe produce a flower from behind my ear – it took me a moment to realise he’d begun to float.

Now I come to see him every day, trying to figure out how he does it – I keep failing but hey, I haven’t been bored in weeks.

National Flash Fiction Day 2020

~ Sonya ~ 7 Comments

“Aw, look at this one.”

Marie points at a bunny rabbit. Their twitchy noses are kind of sweet, but I don’t want a bunny rabbit.

This is the beginning of my story Cats and Dogs – you can read the whole thing here on FlashFlood. I’ve only read a handful of stories so far. Anyone else got one on there today? Pop me a link in the comments if you do.

If you missed out on the FlashFlood, there’s another opportunity to get a story published at the Write-In, too.

Welcome to Week 224 of Three Line Tales.

Before we get to this week’s photo prompt, I’d like to let you know that the FlashFlood Journal will be open for submissions from May 25 to May 31. I’ve had my first online publication there in 2012, and I still remember the massive confidence boost it gave me. They accept previously published stories, so your three line tales are eligible. Just saying’.
