Microfiction Stories

Flash fictions, contest entries and stuff! Here are my entries for various writing challenges, contests and prompts, plus random writings. There's poetry, flash fiction and more!

A place for all the short (less than 800 words) stories that I've written, since about 2023. I update once a blue moon when the mood strikes me. Reocurring themes include that feeling you get while dissociating at a moderately sized party, the blurry line between comedy and horror, and those little moments that nobody thinks of but I never shut up about. Some of it's not that good, but I don't think it really needs to be. I just want it to exist. --- Or; what several years of sporadic writing does to a mf.

Halloween is just a means for demons to walk around among us without a disguise. [Collection of horror stories as short as one line to just a paragraph.]

A collection of short pieces of fiction based off writing prompts

A spine-tingling collection of bloodcurdling microfiction inspired by the "30 Days of Spooky Tales" prompts offered up by the @adultfiction, @ChickLit, @MicroBytes and @Paranormal profiles.

This is a collection of raw, fleeting, and heartfelt moments - tiny windows into countless emotions. Each piece stands alone, yet together they weave a tapestry of thoughts, memories, and what-ifs. Some are gentle, some sting, and some stay with you longer than you expect. There are no perfect plots here - only fragments of feeling, shaped into words for those who love to imagine between the lines.

A collection of moments, memories, and musings-woven into short stories. Each tale stands alone, yet all speak the language of emotion, reflection, and the quiet turns of life. Stories will be added as they come, naturally.

Memories I never lived, written when no one was looking.

In a secluded mountain village known for its sacred breath work and legendary warriors, a gifted samurai named Kai lives as the deadliest blade of the Orchard Clan.

As rising tensions between rival clans threaten to ignite another war, Kai embarks on a dangerous mission that forces him to confront the true meaning of strength, honor, and humanity. The Last Sharpest Sword is a tale of discipline, sacrifice, and the emotional burden carried by those raised to become perfect weapons.

An Unfinished Forever is a deeply moving journey of a girl who spent nearly a decade building a world within a digital screen. For eight years, she nurtured a bond held together by words, whispers, and wait-only to realize that some 'forevers' are destined to remain incomplete. Through her words, she navigates the thin line between holding on and letting go, turning pain into a legacy. This is a story of closure. This is a story of survival. Why you should read this: Heartfelt & Deep: A journey of 8 years captured in 8 short chapters. Relatable: For anyone who has ever loved a ghost or fought for a digital 'forever'. A Journey of Self-Love: More than a breakup, it's about finding yourself. "Some stories don't end with a 'happily ever after'; they end when the writer finally finds the strength to say... The End." Status: COMPLETED (One-sitting read)
