Flash Fiction Series 1#

Okay, so Flash Fiction is a sort of writers exercise that requires novelists to write a story or conversation in 55 words, no more, no less. The subject matter is yours to decide. Here are a few of my own, two are fantasy, the third is a fan fiction (based on the Japanese Anime Neon Genesis Evangellion) and the last is a reflection of my life back in a brighter time, and even that was dark!

Darkness consumes me, flooded with raw misery before being sent into a guilty ocean. I feel lost. I’ll never spot the big picture - too many distractions. I hold so many problems, problems with myself and problems with my existence, dis’ be the winter of thy life – yet, tis not hath only a darkened summer.
