Flash is a story of 1000 words or less. Anotherealm is a website of Science Fiction (SF), Fantasy and Horror.
Anotherealm is the first place I ever posted a story on-line and the first place I ever wrote a flash piece for. It was also the first place I ever actually SOLD a story to. It was a Lovecraftian horror story called, "Alone."
The June-July contest was to write a flash story with Tourists as the prompt. My story for the contest was called, "So Many Shades of Black" and it was a fantasy piece.
The February-March contest had the prompt of Microbial Small. My story, "A Little Dominance" is a SF story set in Howlina, the island nation I created here on Illini6. The story was very heavily influenced by Blue Oyster Cult's "Dominance and Submission."
Go read it and please comment, here, there and everywhere.

its pretty good i really liked the ending!
I can see why you won, Bill. I really liked it. I wanted to continue reading to see what came next. Are you going to continue? I'm curious to know what happens now. Love you, A. Char xoxoxoxoxo ;-p
Thank you, thank you.
This isn't meant to be the beginning of a story, but it is a snapshot of the overall story I have in mind for Howlina.
I really don't have time now to do the full Howlina story justice. It really needs to be a book and I don't work well with dragging a book along over months and months. The only sort of long form success I've had is when I can focus very tightly for a burst. I just don't have time for that right now.
Also, my muse is calling me elsewhere. My muse is VERY fickle and blows me around like a windsock in Soldier Field.
Three days ago she wanted me to do Superhero stories; today she wants me to do a Cozy.
