Marinette is like, ridiculously sleep-deprived and is sketching in the park when she spots a green Pomeranian. Her brain thinks, oh, who would dye their white Pomeranian green?

So she starts talking to it. She rants about her life: Lila, Adrien, Luka, Chloe, and her other life. I mean, if she told the dog about Ladybug who would it hurt? It’s not like it could talk or anything.

Anyways, Marinette brings the dog home with her because it could be a stray or something

And she’s tired, but right before she passes out on her bed she takes a picture of the dog and posts it, asking whether or not someone has lost their dog.

When she wakes up, she’s bombarded by a flood of message, all something along the lines of “WTF MARINETTE THAT’S A SUPERHERO!!”

Adrien:

Cass: I can't tell if you're describing Steph or Kon.

Tim: That's my point. We both dated them both.

Cass: Oh. Oh no. I don't like that.

Write a Flash Fiction Piece

Flash fiction is characterized as being less structured than a short story and more focused on the detail of a moment or collection of moments. It’s much more condensed and tends to be packed with vivid imagery. Shoot for under 500 words. Here are some prompts:

She had never seen a blade so big before.

“Come on!” “I can’t do it!”

A young chef has just realized she’s in the middle of a con.

a chess piece, an unloaded gun, and an attempted murder

A prince has just been stabbed on the battlefield
