Friday Morning FYI – 7/22/2016

Ron Delaney JrLeave a comment

Welcome to your Friday Morning Sunday Evening FYI – my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

I’m super late on this week’s FYI because I spent Friday getting tattooed and writing, and Saturday cleaning my place, doing a lot of yoga and meditation, and writing. I didn’t have time earlier in the week to think on this either because I was busy finalizing a short story for an anthology submission I sent out Thursday. I cry your pardon in advance for being both late and selfish, but that submission is this week’s FYI:

Send a brother some good thoughts for his submission, yeah?

 

Thanks for reading,

Are There People in My Universe?

I’ve been so busy editing over the last however-many-months, I haven’t posted anything besides a few book reviews, a note on querying (which was mostly for my own benefit), and the weekly Friday Morning FYIs. So here’s a short (<900 words) thingy I banged-out, oh, probably a year ago. I wrote it one day when a strange, naggy little idea way-too-small for a novel broke through the topsoil in my mind, and watered itself.

Enjoy!

Strange

Time for more fiction!

So I’ve made the decision to try to post something short (flash, short story, poem, etc.) at least once a month. Below is something I originally wrote for a contest, but never submitted (I know, I know). If I had to categorize it, it would be Sci-fi flash fiction (less than 1000 words), but there’s no aliens, spaceships, or lasers. Think 1984 meets the Klingon Empire with a splash of Ender’s Game (No, no aliens!).

WARNING – This story will not be for everyone. It’s dark, and, depending on your viewpoint, doesn’t have a happy ending. You’ve been warned 🙂

Enjoy, and comment away!
