Last week I announced a new monthly feature on the blog, a friendly contest called Flash Fiction Monday. The idea is to write a short short story in three sentences based on a theme, and the winner of all eligible entries receives a dedicated blog post from yours truly with a glowing three sentence celebration of his or her all-around awesomeness. Beats a stick in eye, am I right?
June’s theme is “Happy Returns” and this is the example I gave:
“The father returned home a year after going out to buy some liquid plumber for the kitchen drain. He started in about a bright light, a ditch, amnesia, but his story was beat out by all the hugs and kisses and laughter. That night while his family slept soundly, the father was in the bathroom having been awakened by a terrible itch along his hairline, and scratching it he peeled off the latex mask disguising a different face.”
I’ve received one entry so far but to make this a contest I need more. Do you have three sentences to spare that tell a story involving whatever you feel constitutes a happy return? I’m sure you do and all I ask is that you leave it with me in the comments box and we’ll make this thing competitive. In a friendly way, of course. We’re all friends here at bryanhilson.com.
So have it, and as always thanks for reading and thanks for playing!
