New Roots

In December we are going to have a flash fest!   No, not elves flashing their dangly bits!  Silly readers, a month celebration of holiday themed flash fiction.   I know, you were hoping  for Mrs. Claus to flash some Tand A. 
 
The idea of flash fiction is to tell a complete story in 500 words.  Some flash contests allow up to 1000 words, while uther super short flash is 250 or less.  We would love for our readers to make contributions for our flash fest.  Simply send your submission to: redhotmama1982@hotmail.com, with flash submission in the subject line. YOu can use a picture prompt if you like.  If so please include the picture in your submission. 

NOw, for a sample of flash fiction, here's Raymond's flash piece.  This was originaly posted at Bruce Blake's blog during a virtual blog tour.

But that didn’t keep him from being a pain in her ass. Some people would call it stalking; Nate called it being “persistent.” She was about to go to the police when . . . she was doing her morning run. Nate was waiting. Nate tried to talk, and Kathy was having none of it. He punched her, almost knocking her out, and while she was down—
He laughed about it afterward, telling her, as he zipped up, that he was “spreading his seed.” Kathy saw the smug, sociopathic look on his face, and instantly knew what she was going to do.
“You didn’t get me pregnant,” she said, looking up at the tree. “A hell of a case of Chlamydia, though; gawd knows who else you’ve been with—or raped.” Kathy smiled, but it was far from a humorous smile. “Now you get to keep spreading your seed—though not in the way you’d probably expected.
“As for me, I could have gotten in trouble with transforming you. Maybe I did . . . my girlfriend is pregnant with triplets. Like they say: what you send out, comes back to you three-fold.” This time her smile was much warmer. “When the girls are born, I’ll make sure we come here so you can see . . .”
