Flash FIction




1. He stood on the edge of the cliff. After taking one last look at the flower next to his bare feet, he took a step forward.

2. During the worst famine of the century, my neighbor’s dog lost its voice.

3. The last thing she saw was the beautiful red blossoms on her shirt.

4. My father paid 500 dollars for a book titled, “199 ways to detect business fraud”.

5. For Sale: SAT books, used less than one month.

6. The kid next to me accidently dropped his ice cream. I covered my ears.

7. At the age of 52, I took out my basketball shoes once again.

8. Lord Dracula’s vintage winery: 32 year old Italian for only 40 euros.

9. A tribe called seiranoisiV did exactly the opposite they were educated to do at school: they foolishly pursued their childhood dreams.

10. There is at least 1984 reasons why writing is important.


Hmm...I wrote this before I saw Seungin's and never had the idea to write one about KMLA. Maybe I should try it sooner or later.

  1. You didn't write about KMLA? Number 9 is not about the vision trip?

    I love 10. 8 is fun and similar to your speech. 2 4 5 are great and very clever. 1 is more like a poem. I like the image of bare feet and flowers. A peaceful image juxtaposed with pending doom? We might guess that this person is cliff diving and not "ending it."

    Excellent.
