Flash Fic Friday

FLASH FIC FRIDAY IS BACK!

Huge thanks to all of the lovely writers who contributed to last week’s Flash Fic Friday prompt. We had so much fun, we want to do it again!

What’s a Flash Fic?

Basically it’s a spur of the moment, scene or story prompted by gifs, pictures, words, or quotes.

How does it work?

Each Friday, TLS will post a picture prompt to the blog. Using the image, we are asking writers to submit 100-300 words ONLY – no more, no less. Please leave your submission in the comment section at the bottom of the post using this format:

- Penname

- Link to your FFN profile

- Your wonderful 100-300 words

Is this a contest/competition?

No, but we are hoping to inspire words from writers and smiles from readers during this period of social distancing.

So flash us!

Give us some dirty words with a side of sizzle. Make us swoon from sweetness. Or if you love angst, make it hurt so good.

Here’s the prompt I selected for this week. Make sure to incorporate it into your submission:

Happy writing!
XOXO

Don't DELETE the Kisses by iambeagle

Summary: When Bella receives a provoking message from a stranger on Instagram, intrigue ensues. Who is this Masen person, anyway? And what the hell does he want?

~ x X x ~

I’m only a few blocks from my apartment when I open Instagram. Scrolling through my feed, I yawn as I like different posts. My co-worker’s dog. A high school friend's kid. Way too many memes. Some influencer who’s trying to sell something that I’ll probably buy later tonight in bed.

And then I stop in the middle of the sidewalk when I see at the top of the screen that Masenry updated his story. Since I started following him a few days ago, I haven’t noticed an Instagram story from him and I’m intrigued. I click his username and a photo of the inside of his fridge takes over my screen. It’s nothing unusual, I guess, but it is pretty bare. I scrutinize the contents, counting at least eight different bottles of hot sauce. There's also a six-pack of Stella, too, which I can appreciate.

We haven’t interacted since our weird coffee argument two days ago. And I don’t really know why I want to strike up a conversation now, but I do.

Swannie: I’m disappointed I can’t criticize your choice of beer or hot sauce.

I smile to myself. I don’t really know why, either. It just appears on my face. Maybe I like fucking with this person the way they fuck with me. Regardless of the reason, I feel kind of creepy smiling to myself while standing in the middle of the sidewalk at night, so I start my walk home again.

When I glance back at my phone, I see Masenry has responded. But since I commented on his story, our conversation is now private.

Masenry: Sliding into my DMs, huh?

Fucker.

Then he adds: My fridge is pretty dirty. Maybe you can criticize that?

Swannie: It’s not satisfying if you offer it up so easily.

Masenry: I’m sure it’s still satisfying in some way.

I blink at my screen.

I stare at the smirking emoji he’s become known for sending.

I think Instagram Dude is flirting with me.

Swannie: … that was kind of a saucy comment.

Masenry: I’m a saucy kinda guy.

Swannie: Like in the hot sauce sense, right?

Masenry: Lol yeah.

Swannie: Did you actually laugh out loud at that?

Masenry: No.

Swannie: Smile?

Masenry: Yeah. Are you smiling, too?

Swannie: Unfortunately... yes.

What we're reading in TLS this week:

We’ve got a variety of Edwards to help you pass the time this week. Some of these fics are brand new and some are old favorites with a new chapter. We hope you enjoy these stories and authors as much as we have. Remember to let the author know where you saw their story featured and leave them some love. Stay safe!

Man of Omerta by AGoodWITCH
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13514419/1/Man-of-Omerta
Silence. Humor. Humility. This was the world as I knew it. Isabella didn’t change this for me, she made it clearer. She became a part of that oath as I spoke the words, because a man who couldn’t protect his family couldn’t protect his family, couldn’t be trusted to protect the organization. “We settle things like men, amongst men, we don’t run to the cops like cowards.” Rated M
