flash fiction post

is a growing network of experimental fiction writers who post here for the joy of publishing on the world wide web in the middle of the night.

f l a s h f i c t i o n p o s t welcomes all writers, bold or shy, and even the long lost, barefoot companion of JK, who you may come to know.

For inspiration, check out these rambling descriptors we’ve collected on the

basics of flash fiction

  1. The sky: my desperate dispersion
    an expansion creeping slowly in
    the autumn fields of my lost war
    manifest the gesture that condemns me
    to seek lavishly the sighs of unnamed
    saints and mystics
    heavy with the saddle of onrushing years
    seeping the dripping paint
    like the dance of mechanical yesterdays
    the grave of my birth and burying
    thus a multitude of poems – astray
    halfway
    detached from the events of time
    isolated in the nirvana of untouched perception
    sky, fragment of other lives
    or why November and dying
    that last sullen word behind chaos
    a return
    a miniature spot
    whose own language
    cannot participate in its description
    thus the sky and the lesser me
    thus a slow sleep in an immense unuttered world.

  2. Cool.
