Knights of Microfiction (1) Trapped

The Knights of MicroFiction is a bloghop hosted by Jess at Write, Skate Dream and Kathy at Imagine Today. It takes place on the 15th of every month (except April when everyone is busy with the A-Z challenge). It was designed as a way for bloggers to meet new friends in the blogging community and spark their creativity.


Today's prompt is:

"Your character is trapped in a space (of your choice).  All they have with them is a broken coffee mug, an unlit candle and a cell phone with a dead battery.  What happens?

Your entry cannot be longer than 400 words and we won't be taking entries after midnight on the 15th EST."

First Campaigner Challenge: Shadows and Light Flash Fiction

 I've been meaning to take part in Rachel Harrie's First Campaigner Challenge all week now, but work and real life has kind of interfered, which is why I'm posting last minute. This was the challenge brief:

Write a short story/flash fiction story in 200 words or less, excluding the title. It can be in any format, including a poem. Begin the story with the words, “Shadows crept across the wall”. These five words will be included in the word count.  If you want to give yourself an added challenge (optional), do one or more of these:

Super-Snooper Blogfest

Today I'm writing for Alison Stevens' Super-Snooper Blogfest. I'm ashamed to say I wasn't at all on the ball with this one and despite signing up weeks ago I only got around to writing my entry today. In fact I wrote it hastily in my lunch break at work, so I apologise in advance for the sloppy writing, but better late (and sloppy) than never, right? The main thing is I enjoyed writing it and I hope you will too. The brief for the blogfest was to describe a setting that tells the reader something about your character's personality. I've chosen a character from my current WiP, but I won't tell you any more than that or it'll spoil the fun.
