Breakthrough: a sci-fi flash fiction story

March 22, 2023March 10, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

Gothilim was shielded. Liala didn't care. “Clips, you ready to try again?” Liala reset the stabilisers and checked the integrity of the hammer. Her jaw worked faster, chewing an old wad of gum that had lost its flavour at least an hour ago.  “Captain,” a voice crackled from above. Without looking, Liala sent her fist … Continue reading Breakthrough: a sci-fi flash fiction story

The Anomaly: A time travel story

March 15, 2023March 3, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

No. 38/100 flash fiction stories Mei woke with a headache pounding at the back of her skull. Well, good morning to you, too, she thought to her rebellious head. As she sat up in bed—greeted by a chorus of creaks from the old wooden bed frame—the pain worsened. “Whatever could it be?” she muttered to herself. … Continue reading The Anomaly: A time travel story

The Terrors of Tales

March 8, 2023February 22, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

No. 37/100 flash fiction stories You can't escape from the dragons.  I remember the days when seeing one meant good luck. You could never mistake them for a bird because their scales glinted so peculiarly in the sunlight. To have that colourful sunshine beam down upon you felt like a sign from God himself that you … Continue reading The Terrors of Tales

Roses

March 1, 2023February 17, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

No. 36/100 flash fiction stories My office smells like roses. The moment you open the door, the smell hits you. It's as if the crimson flowers are scattered all throughout the room. But no - a single vase sits on my desk, a dozen red roses intermingled with baby's breath. Right now they're all opening up … Continue reading Roses

Flow

February 15, 2023February 13, 2023 / E.J. Robison / 3 Comments

No. 35/100 flash fiction stories. Inspired by the piece "For Chris" by Brock Hewitt. The scene is clear in my mind.  It's almost the same as the one before my eyes, but the forest is greener, younger, like I was. The stream was swollen in those days and now I can barely hear it trickle on … Continue reading Flow

Ancient Songs Reawakened

February 14, 2023February 2, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

The idea is that I found less and less to enjoy about worship music as time went on, and yet, there came a time when I realised I needed it desperately. The Father seeks those who worship in spirit and in truth, but I was never quite sure what that meant. All I knew was … Continue reading Ancient Songs Reawakened

The Frog

February 8, 2023January 30, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

No. 34/100 flash fiction stories. See the prompt that inspired it! Rain fell. Waves surged through a small pond in a small wood in a small town.  And yet, the green frog sat.  Croak! he said, full of joy as a wave splashed on his face. He did not need to fret; he knew the ground was … Continue reading The Frog

Bow Tie: A flash fiction story

February 1, 2023January 18, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

No. 33/100 flash fiction stories Sylvia adjusted Jared's bow tie. His eyes darted around every which way as if he'd rather focus on anything other than her. Sylvia smiled, a twitch of her lips that Jared, of course, didn't see.  "You've been undercover at least a thousand times," she said, giving him a quick pat on … Continue reading Bow Tie: A flash fiction story

Idioms: a Sci-Fi Flash Fiction Story

January 25, 2023January 11, 2023 / E.J. Robison / 2 Comments

No. 32/100 flash fiction stories. This one features Kazran Guenever, a character from my short story collection The Drabbles of a Dreamer. "I don't usually hit the ground running. Instead, I greet it fully with my face in the mud. And then I get up and limp away.  "See, that was always the most important part … Continue reading Idioms: a Sci-Fi Flash Fiction Story

Blanket Fort: a flash fiction story

January 18, 2023January 3, 2023 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

No. 31/100 flash fiction stories Oliver knew it had been a mistake to delegate the task of setting up the living room for movie night. In hindsight, he berated himself for trusting the task to anyone else.  Especially his teenage boys.  "What do you think, Dad?" Ricky stood proudly and crossed his arms, admiring his … Continue reading Blanket Fort: a flash fiction story
