#MidWeekFlash - Reunion #WritingPrompt #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Prompt: #MidWeekFlash I don’t know why my stomach twists into knots as I make my way toward the shrine. Each step up the stone stairs brings me closer to Valmong, and though he all but told me he wanted me to stay, I can’t help but worry. Wanting me to stay amidst the stress of our quest – the constant danger we were in – is completely different from the reality of our situation. I’ve already…

#MidWeekFlash – Blending In

Prompt: #MidWeekFlash

“Why are we just standing here?” Bysen looked up and down the alleyway, nerves sitting heavy on her chest. The street at the end of the alley was completely empty, but she couldn’t help the feeling that they were being watched. Around them, the night was too quiet.

“Patience. And don’t look so nervous. You’ll make an easy target.” Beside her, Ryker leaned against the wall,…

#MidWeekFlash – 152

When Father’s car

washed up along the beach,

we knew he was truly gone.

He’d not traveled far,

just barely out of reach,

but he’d been gone for so long.

Twenty years have passed,

Since Father walked out

To get some gas

and a bottle of stout.

But he never came…

Since the year 1826, there has been a parcel at the local post office, waiting to be delivered. The instructions left with it read:

Prompt: #MidWeekFlash

It’s difficult, trying to keep the anger at bay, the sense of betrayal. But mom’s voice hums in the back of my mind.

You’ll tire yourself out, staying angry. Just take deep breaths. Don’t let it cloud your judgement.

Still, I find myself practically punching each can of food into my backpack. I’m careful to leave some room for my mother’s journals, though. Adwin left a…

“You’re telling me they’re in crisis and there’s nothing else I can do.”

Samael’s face is neutral, the angel of death perfectly content to keep collecting the souls I’m supposed to be protecting. “You’re not supposed to protect them. You’re supposed to protect their realm – big difference, Lexia.”

“Stay out of my head.”

They shrug before turning in…

Prompt: #MidWeekFlash

It’s been a long time since I’ve given my sister more than a passing thought. And maybe that’s part of why she’s so angry, so hellbent on her revenge. Mara has always been a force of nature, a raging ocean, a tempest. Her talents as Death lay in plagues, massive natural disasters, genocide – the kinds of events that could drive humanity to extinction. And that was just…

Prompt: #MidWeekFlash

The first thing I notice when I cross the threshold is that I’m being watched. Not because I can see what’s watching me, but because I feel a tingle at the base of my neck, a shiver that spreads down my spine and dials my senses up to a thousand.

A rush of wind blows my hair in my face, and as I struggle to clear it, to get an idea of where I might be, I turn in place. Like…
