Flashfiction Stories

An assortment of random flash fics, one shots, imagines and drabbles. (x Reader)

Blurb: *A Bronze Age caster, a magical summons, and a modern luxury cruise trapped in the unknown.* Marek is a man of hearth, bronze, and alpine frost. He knows the weight of an axe, the language of molten metal, and the fierce protection of his family. He does not know sorcery, modern luxury, or ships built like floating iron mountains. When a mysterious stranger appears in his mountain valley with a glowing token and a promise of foreign skills, Marek makes a impossible choice: leave his wife, infant son, and a treacherous brother behind to embark on a journey across eras. Transported to the port of the *Akatapóntistos* - an impossibly vast vessel bound for uncharted waters - Marek is thrust into the "Survival of the Fittest" trials. Surrounded by strangers from unknown lands, jabbering in bird-like tongues, and facing challenges designed to test every ounce of his brawn and strategy, Marek must rely on his instincts, his hammer, and his resolve to survive. He didn't come for glory. He came to bring secrets back to his clan - and to make it home alive. 🗒️ Author's Note for Readers: ✏️ This book features my official entries for the "Survival of the Fittest 2026" writing contest hosted on ShutUpAndWriteClub. Marek is my main male character from my story *Ash and Shell* with whom I participated. Follow his journey round-by-round as he navigates modern madness with ancient grit! 📎 P.S. How far into this journey I might survive with him? No idea... 🫣

One story might make you smile. The next might make you question everything. Some will be sweet, some strange, some a little dark, and some probably impossible to explain without spoilers. Elsewhere is a collection of completely unrelated one-shot stories, each with its own world, characters, mess, mystery, and ending. No fixed genre. No promises about what comes next. Just different stories waiting to take you somewhere else.

Fragments of the Dark is a book of twisty, macabre and hard-hitting tales told in only 100 words or less.

Please respect one another, because all of us started from the beginning before we became better at something. Let's remember that everyone is still learning and improving.
