My Girl – short spanking story

My latest writing prompt story and I’m feeling nostalgic. Is it okay to play with his records…. she’s about to find out? *** Put another record on the record player. Wasn’t that the saying? Neil was fast asleep in bed. He’d dozed off after they’d had sex. She tiptoed away. Row upon row of LPs and singles filled the shelves. She trailed her finger along the narrow spines, trying to … Read more…

A picture tells a story #6 – playing some music

After a break last week, I hope I can find some musical inspiration with this picture. I’m wondering how old this picture is? I still have old LPs, but no player, which is a pity. How quickly technology moves on. The lightly applied rules: No more than 500 words, but as little as I like. It could be poem if I’m short on time. Something related to the prompt – … Read more…

Pearl necklace – Victorian short story

500 word short story – Victorian romance with a twist. After a fraught week when this blog went a little haywire, I managed to conjure up my 500 story using the picture prompt.  Nothing like a formal Victorian courtship and this one isn’t starting off very well. *** “Miss Malone, did you or did you not call your sweet cousin a beastly mare?” She stared at his buttons, counting them … Read more…

Frisky Wedding day. – free short story #flashfiction

The expression on her face! Frisked on her wedding day. There had to be a story in that picture to tell. A sexy one? Perhaps she’s not as alarmed as she appears. Here is my 500 word story…. *** The only mistake I made on my wedding day was giving Betsy one of the rings Clive and I planned to exchange. Before we left for church, my bridesmaid thrust the ring at me … Read more…

A picture tells a story #4 – Wedding woes? #writingprompt

It’s a holiday here in the UK, as it is in the States.  A holiday is a special occasion and so is a wedding. When I spotted this picture I wondered – what is going on?  Can I make a story out of this. Still working on a few ideas. The challenge is fashioning it into just 500 words.     The lightly applied rules: No more than 500 words, … Read more…

I can’t make up my mind – free short story

I admit, I chose this picture unsure of the direction to go with my story. Then, as is often the case, I latched onto one detail and it kicked off a train of thoughts.  See if you can spot my prompt. I’m mortified. I try to wear an innocent expression, but it fails. I can’t begin to explain my actions over the past few weeks. Dating two men at the … Read more…

A picture tells a story #3 – vintage postcard #flashfiction #writing prompt

For today’s writing prompt I’ve gone back in time and picked something different. Of course I don’t have to write a vintage tale or set it in the kitchen. The picture might represent the end of the story, not the beginning. Is it her pose or the folding of the arms that intrigues me? It could turn out to be  a threesome, or something else. Who knows. I’m still thinking … Read more…

Change of attitude – #flashfiction #spanking

Welcome today’s short story. The rules: under 500 words and related to the picture prompt below. If you want to join in, post a link in the comments. *** It had to happen one day. I’d had enough of it. Always playing that stereotype. It wasn’t the real me. The bad attitude started on the day of my job interview. I walked into the room and faced those impassive faces with … Read more…

A picture tells a story #2 #writingprompt #flashfiction

This is this week’s writing prompt. By Thursday/Friday, I’ll put up a story. Here are my rules to keep myself in check: No more than 500 words, but as little as I like. It could be poem if I’m short on time. Something related to the prompt – it can begin it, or end it. It could be the background or the action, the setting or the people or maybe the … Read more…

Stuck in traffic – #flashfiction #short story #romance

I posted a picture on Monday and let it sink in a bit, then wrote this. It’s under 500 words (just) and I hope you like a little end of week romance. I usually crawled past his car around half eight in the morning, both of us as regular as clockwork, except he went one way, and I, the other.  A familiar event that always took place along the same mile long stretch of … Read more…

Getting out the tool – #spanking #belt – short story

It’s been a while since I wrote a short story. So I’m going to get back into the habit. I like to use writing prompts – pictures, a word or two – something to get those ideas going. This week’s story is  a little over 500 words. I’m going to try next week to reduce that to under 500. That’s the challenge. I love flash fiction challenges. If you want to … Read more…
