Flash Fiction: Unnerving

November 29, 2017November 26, 2017 sablescm5 Comments

How unnerving do you think it would be if you were a team sport player, like for basketball or soccer or volleyball, and you went to play at a major tournament, and for the entire match, the audience is dead silent? No cheers. No music. Not even the crinkle of a water bottle, the rustle of… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Unnerving

(part 1 here) ((Trying to return to the Short Story Challenge, but I’m a day late aha;; As usual, all writing uploaded is closer to a first draft rather than a final, but I hope you enjoy all the same.))

7 – A Journey

September 21, 2016April 8, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

((Wow, okay, this prompt was so hard to answer just because it’s too vague. I have four different versions that I scrapped before I finally went back to finish an old story. It isn’t a particularly strong piece, in my views, and doesn’t have any strong meaning or purpose – it was an exploration of… Continue reading 7 – A Journey

5 -A Story in London

September 7, 2016October 23, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

A Fairytale (part 1) Francis was almost nine years old when he first felt the call. It came on like a fever, swaddled him with an ache he felt down to his bones, and all he could remember was the terror. He woke up sobbing a tuneless song of heartache, and his parents had to… Continue reading 5 -A Story in London

3 – Retelling a Fairytale

August 24, 2016March 26, 2019 sablescm5 Comments

(With the live-action coming out soon, I thought it would be interesting to read the original Beauty and the Beast and explore its core themes, as well as how those themes would change if I altered the gender roles of the characters. And then it just ran away from me. This initial structure/writing style is based upon… Continue reading 3 – Retelling a Fairytale

2 – Rising to a Challenge

August 17, 2016January 12, 2017 sablescm3 Comments

(Not my best, but that’s my fault, so I’ll have to live with it. This ended up less of a complete enclosed story and more of a test-run of a future project, but I’ll have to put it up since it’s all I have, ahaha.) Sunrise Thea lived in settlement where the walls to the… Continue reading 2 – Rising to a Challenge

Short Story: “A Summer Dream”

March 2, 2016July 28, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

I have heard that once, back when the internet was new and technology still scarce, rich or poor, privileged or not, everyone was able to dream. Why was that right not protected? (Completed October 6, 2013)
