Flash Fiction: The Fire of the Gods
Posted by DLThurston in Flash Fiction on March 16, 2012
Back on the wagon with another Chuck Wendig challenge. This week:
Your story will be titled: “The Fire of the Gods.”
And that’s it. That’s all I demand of you.
Well, besides the standard parameters, of course. The story must be under 1000 words. Post it at your blog (not in the comments here, or I may delete it), then link back so we can all see it.
However, since I missed last week’s challenge I’m dropping myself a penalty. Even though it’s past the noon deadline for last week’s I’m going to do both challenges in one. So here’s last week:
I have, in fact, chosen 20 words.
You must choose 10 of these words and use them throughout your ~1000 word flash fiction story.
Might be tricky, but hey, that’s why this is a challenge and not, say, me tickling your privates with a feather.
The ten words:
Beast, brooch, cape, dinosaur, dove, fever, finger, flea, gate, insult, justice, mattress, moth, paradise, research, scream, seed, sparrow, tornado, university.
There we go. It’s two Wendig challenges in one maddening story. Let’s get to it.
