I noticed recently the various threads on cabin fever, cocooning and people no longer able to go out much for a variety of reasons. Anyway, I wondered if people might fancy trying out flash fiction as an alternative to TV, crosswords, word searches etc? What you have to do is write a story in 100 words only. There`s a website to submit them to. www.fridayflashfiction.com . Its run by a nice chap- a Grandad naturally. Its an interesting mental challenge and its also good to read the other stories. People seem to send them in from all over the world. Its amazing how varied all the stories are considering the constraints of 100 words only. Have a go.
