Invasion (Friday Fictioneers, May 2013)
This week’s Friday Fictioneers was a photo of part of a structure quite familiar to me! As I’m afloat in France (Canal de Bourgogne) at the moment, I might not get round this week’s submissions as quickly or comprehensively … Continue reading →

Hen Party (Friday Fictioneers, May 2013)
Great photo prompt from Friday Fictioneers. Thought I might not make it this week as we were driving through France, but had a brief moment of inspiration over breakfast this morning. Thanks to Rochelle as always for the hard work … Continue reading →

Handling Rejection (Friday Fictioneers, May 2013)
It’s that time of the week again, Friday Fictioneers kicking off on Wednesday, thanks to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. Unthinkable… asking her out like that. Unbearable, watching a cruel mocking response forming. Instead she’d tossed her thick honey-coloured braid and laughed as … Continue reading →

A Shared Passion (Friday Fictioneers, April 2013)
This week’s Friday Fictioneers Challenge comes via a photo from Claire Fuller. I struggled in vain to make out the titles, feeling really sneaky. Checking out someone’s reading matter feels a bit like reading their diary. A Shared Passion … Continue reading →

Made in Hong Kong (Friday Fictioneers, April 2013)
Apologies to all those Friday Fictioneers whose stories I didn’t get to read and comment on last week; I was rushing to catch a plane to Spain. This week I’m rushing to catch one back again. And I’ll … Continue reading →

When It’s Over… (Friday Fictioneers, March 2013)
This week’s Friday Fictioneers prompt comes courtesy of Rochelle herself. I love this kitchen! She’d lit the lamps signalling the coast was clear. Then she waited. The kitchen door creaked and her glittering eyes caressed every curve of his magnificent … Continue reading →

Prairie Devil (Friday Fictioneers, March 2013)
I’d just about resigned myself to not taking part in Friday Fictioneers this week, so bereft was I of inspiration. I’m not happy about this one, but as little as I know of horses, I was pretty much stuck. I … Continue reading →

Exodus (Friday Fictioneers, March 2013)
This week’s Friday Fictioneers photo prompt was supplied by Lora Mitchell. Sorry if it’s a bit dreary, but I’ve done horror to death in recent weeks and have indulged in fantasy and sci-fi for other challenges this week. The … Continue reading →
