Flash Fiction – wordsbykristinecharles

S, T, U and V

Whoops. Behind again… But I’ve not missed 5 posts in a row yet. Almost but not quite. And that means I’m still in it. Just! That said, we’re looking at another composite posting today, covering letters S, T, U and V. And out of some choices… I’ve gone with spoon, tease, unprotected and voluptuous forContinueContinue reading “S, T, U and V”

Q…

It’s Q day… and that doesn’t make for a lot of word-based inspiration. Sex-Lexis had some really ugly ‘Q’ based words (check out quandong, queeb and quail for some particularly iffy ones). Reading the list, and seeing quaaludes, I was thinking back to a book I read many years ago called Facades by Stanley LevineContinueContinue reading “Q…”

M, N, O and P!

I’m starting this post with an apology… I may have over-extended myself this month! I’m not sure why I thought taking on the A to Z Challenge while working a full time job and trying to navigate caring for my mum was a good idea but here I am, late again. Whoops. Maybe that isContinueContinue reading “M, N, O and P!”

Lascivious

Lascivious. Inclined to lustfulness. Wanton. Lewd. Arousing sexual desire. Indicating sexual interest or expressive of lust or lewdness. Welcome to ‘L’ day on the A to Z Challenge. A little 300 word scene starter that may be continued tomorrow. Fastening the black lace between her breasts, she smoothed her hands down over the soft chiffonContinueContinue reading “Lascivious”

Kitchen

It’s ‘K’ day in the A to Z Challenge and I’ve decided to go back to the beginning of my flash fiction journey. I wrote today’s little snippet as my first entry in a flash fiction competition. I didn’t win (I did win the Virgin Award for my first time in the competition) but IContinueContinue reading “Kitchen”

Jewellery

I’m catching up! I certainly wasn’t expecting to be writing this at 9:23 pm today, but I’m here and I am. Today (well, yesterday) was ‘J’ day in the A to Z Challenge and today’s inspiration is jewellery. Who doesn’t love jewellery. And even more so, who doesn’t love Tiffany’s (this first photo is actuallyContinueContinue reading “Jewellery”

Illicit

Whoopsie. I’m a day late and a dollar short… well, just a day late. As always, I had good intentions but my Friday went a little more pear shaped than I had anticipated, so I didn’t get to post. And then I had good intentions of doing it first thing this morning, but that didn’tContinueContinue reading “Illicit”

G is for Grind

I’m so tired! It’s been a long few weeks here, and between trying to keep up at home, at work and with my writing, all I really want to do is crawl into bed and stay there for an extended period of time. It’s been such a… grind. Which leads me to today’s ‘G’ wordContinueContinue reading “G is for Grind”

French kiss

Day seven and I’m still here, although it’s been a long day and I almost forgot today’s post! Let’s hope I get it finished before I fall asleep! Today is ‘F’ day and, after much internal deliberation, the word inspiration for the day is ‘French kiss’ and is used in a little flash fiction. “Crap,ContinueContinue reading “French kiss”

Cheating.

Today’s ‘C’ word is cheating… and I’m introducing you to Greta Jones in a little dialogue exercise (and yes, I’m also slightly cheating as I’ve had this piece written for a while!). Greta is 24 and works as a secretary in a small law office in a small country town. She’s married to James Jones andContinueContinue reading “Cheating.”
