It might seem odd that I am continuing this fun and non-competitive flash fiction game during a global pandemic, but I strongly feel that taking time out to be creative is really good for my mental health. But if you’re not up to it this month, that’s absolutely okay, too. I just wanted to do the draw for those who need a distraction during this trying time!
Okay! Well, I thought nobody would touch March’s challenge, but you writers came through once again! (Read March’s stories here.) Now it’s time for our fourth flash fiction draw!
Here’s the video of me choosing the cards. I kind of think the cards actually came through in a cool way this time!
You have until Monday April 13( 2 p.m. EDT) to submit your stories. Please add a link to your stories in the comments section of this post. And if you’re done sooner, you can comment sooner!
I’ll write a summary post later that day and highlight the stories that have come in.
Happy wording!
Cheers!

Ooo! I like the mashup with Fantasy! I mashed up mine with space opera, so you made me feel better. Love the mood of the story and the ending!

Talk about a day (or twenty) late and a dollar short. It would have helped if I’d ever posted the link to mine in the comments. Oy.
