Fiction in a Flash #5

Filed under: Creative Writing, Fiction in a Flash, Getting Inspired, Quick Steps — ShadowsEdge @ 5:00 am

We all have grandiose ideas for the next best seller.? However big those ideas are sometimes they just need a kick start.? Sometimes there’s no great thing lurking in the shadows screaming “Write me!” but instead just a short simple scene that plays in the mind.? The idea behind flash fiction is to write something out using only so many words.? We frequent 55fiction and even though we haven’t posted there, we enjoy reading the work.? If you visit their site you can see that some of the pieces there are nothing but a 55 word stories while others may elaborate on each short piece.

So here’s the challenge: 70 word fiction in a flash. True, that’s only 15 more words than what you see at 55fiction so make those 15 words profound and eye opening. You never know what you might scratch out of your head.
Anyone interested in adding their own work can do so in the comment section.? We look forward to seeing what each and every creative mind can come up with.? The requirements are simple, all we ask for is a plot in only 70 words that includes the item below, no more no less.? And believe me, that’s not as easy as it sounds.
Here are your items:? a cat and duct tape
