Ompwriter Stories

In 2018, here's another collection of flash fiction (and non-fiction) tales written for the purpose-designed 'Weekend Writein prompts', challenging writers to produce around 500 word stories each time we choose to join the party.

A collection of short stories inspired initially by a wide array of prompts from various places. Sometimes it's one word; maybe a phrase or a saying; sometimes a particular photo setting the creative wheels in motion. I love the development from that first small glow of imagination, the germ of a story that begins to grow, and then the nurturing and careful pruning, until finally it blossoms. Let's see if you agree I've achieved this.

The third volume of stories from the WriteOn Refugees Weekend Write-In prompts.

Last decade, before we moved back to our present farm in the country we love so dearly, I was a careworker for a few years. This story is about one of my most frustrating but loveable clients who showed me once again how the greatest courage demanded is often in facing each hour of every new day - and getting through it. I think you'll find yourself, like me, getting teary from laughter as much (if not more) than from empathy with this tough little battler and her lifetime of hurdles.

There have been countless heroes in wars throughout history. These are the stories of some ordinary Europeans who found extraordinary courage to survive WWII.

Another volume of Weekend Write-Ins.

Forever Torn is the true and amazing story of two brothers and three generations of one family - a family torn apart by deaths, poverty, deceit and a promise made by a small boy to his Grandfather over 80 years ago. It is the story of one man who refused to acknowledge his past and his brother who remained bound to protect the secret, despite his own pain. If you have enjoyed fictional epics such as Blood Brothers and Kane and Abel, you will love Forever Torn, which unlike the aforementioned is based on a true and tragic story.

A collection of short stories, each one written in November 2016. The stories cover all genres and many worlds of the imagination.

Sometimes Life starts handing us choices we are none too ready to make... and some choices should never have to be made at all. Here's a story originally written for a 500 word flash-fiction from a prompt that has taken on a life of its own, and now actually DEMANDS its own presentation in a length of its OWN choosing. Seems I have Hobson's choice in the matter! Warning: Profanity from 'Chapter Four: But Why Me?' Jake insisted his thoughts were his own... I'm just the scribe -what could I say?

More stories from the WriteOn Refugees Weekend Write-In.

There are those who tell stories, and those who are talebearers. There are those who are scribes, and write down the tales. When talents like these are combined, it's inspirational... or so these two would have you believe.

Lisa was tired of waiting for their first baby to arrive. She couldn't stand any delays once the due date had passed.

Written for the WriteOnWriters Weekend Write-In Challenge for 1 Feb 2019. 500 words, one weekend, and a story prompt -- this week's prompt was "arrive", tell what happens when it arrives. Chloe felt something was missing from her life, so she ordered it online.

A collection of tales I wrote to meet the challenges of the Weekend write-in Prompts on Amazon's writing platform, (the soon to close) WriteOn for Kindle. At around 500 words each, they are quick little reads to fill in a dull moment.

A collection of short pieces inspired by the work of Hokusai.

Nothing creates a sense of space like a blanket of snow. Written for the weekend prompt, space.

Miranda the absent-minded sleuth is taking a cruise to avoid anything related to solving mysteries, of any kind. But the forces just won't let her rest.

Another collection of short pieces, random thoughts and things that occurred to me in the middle of the night.
