A collection of embarrassments (more likely) and wins (less likely) as I try my hand at gambling with my writing abilities in The Fab Spec Fic Smackdown, a contest that is completely out of my league if it were real person, in which case it would probably be a 10, or maybe even higher. Have fun reading or be disappointed, if you dare.

This is my entry for the Smack Down Challenge!

@Ooorah and @LayethTheSmackDown sponsor this flash fiction contest each year. We Smackdowners write stories on prompts for (hopefully) several rounds, based on a theme, and the last writer standing is the winner. These are my entries.

The crew of the Iron Bell soars through the universe, helping those in need while making a good living from those who can afford their services. This mismatched band of former military men pushes the envelope while rescuing others. When Isobel begs her brother's old team to help her friend Lily - a witch on the run from the boss of the Andromeda galaxy - do they have what it takes? And what happens when an all-powerful boss doesn't like interference with his business? ________ This story is only on W A T T P A D. If you are reading it anywhere else, it was stolen and you may be at risk for malware. This story started as my entry into the Spec-Fic Smack Down for 2024. (which made it through to the end of round four!) It is also based on the Pink Floyd album, Dark Side of the Moon. I do not own the music or lyrics, which belong to the songwriters, respectively. @SeraDrake created the cover and did all the editing. Trigger Warnings: Foul language, death. Please read safely!

A collection of short stories written for The Fabulous Spec-Fic SmackDown. This is my first ever attempt at a smackdown challenge, but I figure what's the harm. Even if I don't win, I'm glad for the practice and I'm sure I'll have a good time. ps. cover was created using a canva template.
