Daily Picspiration – Lyrics Required

Posted on May 27, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

I’m excited to share with you the flash fiction talents of fourteen different writers. The fun happens daily at http://picspiration.blogspot.com. My posts will occur every other Monday starting TODAY. A couple of pictures are chosen and the writer chooses the length, genre, and subject matter, but we have to tie in one or both of the photos into the story.

I was inspired by my pics for today and I’ve already seen my pics for Monday, June 10th and I can’t wait to write that one.

Visit Daily Picspiration to read a little about each author. You can go back daily for something new and, of course, go today to read my first flash, Lyrics Required. Enjoy.

Flash Fiction #42 A Ridiculous Dress

Posted on May 3, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

A walk on the beach was supposed to do the trick, except now all Collin could think of was Susan. He knew how many people he needed on his team. He didn’t need her to challenge him, even if she’d made a good point.

It all started with the ridiculous dress she wore yesterday. It covered every inch of her upper thighs. He didn’t know how he was supposed to think of his business with her tiny waist slopping dramatically out to her hips and now he had to fantasize about the part of her legs she wouldn’t show him.

Flash Fiction #41 Stealing Forever

Posted on April 26, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

Why he was the only one to see Angel’s worth he’d never understand. He’d bet not even the woman herself was speaking in her favor. As soon as he had time to spare, he’d bend her over his knee and redden her beautiful backside.

He waited in the vacant yard to learn her sentence while the sky continued to empty all it had like it was trying to force out the filth. He wiped at his rain soaked hands and water rolled off his head in a constant torrent.

He’d promised her forever. He’d steal it if he had to.

Flash Fiction #40 – Chasing Alison

Posted on April 12, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

Brian refused to think about the trouble Alison had found or if she was hurt. He took a look at the clock and pushed harder on the gas pedal. This wasn’t the first time she’d pressed an informant too far, but he wanted to get there before the gun shots. A deep breath did nothing to calm his racing heart.

He’d been putting off asking for a new partner, preferring to ignore his feelings than risk losing her all together.

He wouldn’t lose her today.

A slam to the horn, a hard left, and he pulled into a quiet lot.

Flash Fiction #39 A Hard Climb

The sting radiating from Shannon’s new blister threatened her goal, but she wanted to keep going. Her mission was to finish this hike on this day. She knew she could do it.

She’d even lost sight of her sexy new friend. Watching his firm back side had kept her at a brisk pace most of the morning. A rushing rumble rang out and the surrounding forest fell silent.

She pulled on everything she had left and willed her legs into the final climb. The falls came into view, washed away her sorrows, and filled her with peace.

“You made it.”

Flash Fiction #38 Watching and Waiting

Christy stood at the fringes of the room. As a new member of the club, she was restricted from interacting, but she could watch. She peered through her bangs to the man standing at attention near the end of the bar. He’d crossed his arms tightly over his broad chest. Her bound wrists reminded her she could not touch, could not join the soiree.

Would he notice her?

Music pumped through the room, the beat vibrating through her body and mixing with her jumble of nerves. A crease appeared in his brow, he turned and captured her gaze.

“Oh my.”

Tantalizing Tuesday #4 – A Most Romantic Story

Posted on February 19, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

I shared my good news in my ROW80 post on Sunday. To recap, I entered a flash fiction challenge last Thursday hosted by Siobhan Muir called the #ThursThreads Challenge and I won Most Romantic Story!! Today, I’ll be sharing my winning flash and the photo that helped inspire the words.

First, did you forget? It’s been a while.

Tuesdays aren’t for flashing…they’re for teasing. The rules of TT: I select the picture and 200 words to tease. My tease is 205 words today, please forgive me.

Vanessa dug her fingers into the cool, wet sand, loving the slip and slide of the grains caressing her fingers, and watched as the water rinsed her hand clean. She wished her life could be so simple.

“Why are you hiding from me?”

Her body froze, but her heart kicked into high gear. She pushed against the comfort of the shore to stand and face the man she’d love forever.

“I’m no good for you.” She turned to run, but he stepped in front of her.

“What good does it do?” He reached his hand out and caressed her cheek. “I’ll always come for you.”

“Oh, Carlo.” She shook her head and looked away as the tears began to fall.

He took a step closer, invading her space. “You’re the one I want, Vanessa.” He claimed her lips. “It’s always been you.”

She pushed, but he pushed back, moving them deeper into the water. The waves shoved against their legs forcing them closer together and she felt her life come back into focus. He was right to find her, he held her heart.

“Oh, Carlo. I love you.”

“I know.”

She giggled and kissed him, finally letting go and letting him in, where he belonged.

Hope you enjoyed my tease today and I hope you found it romantic!! Don’t forget to visit the other teasers at Tantalizing Tuesday. Or click away on the links below.

Flash Fiction #37 Sounds of the Night

Posted on February 8, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

Sienna knew her traps kept most of the warriors away, but they kept trying and eventually one would get through. She stilled her body and listened to the sounds of the night, waiting for the supposed worthy one. The snap of a twig to her left startled her. She closed her eyes and felt nothing but her raucous heart until another crackle rang out. In an instant she was on her feet and ready to defend. Electricity tickled her spine, he hadn’t tripped a single trap.

“Sienna?”

“A few skills and my name gains you nothing.”

“I’ll earn the rest.”

Flash Fiction #36 POW!

Posted on February 1, 2013 by S.J. Maylee

Thanks for stopping. Another picture…another 100 words.

Angel rubbed her hands on her knees, rolled her shoulders, and waited for the moment to make her move. The plan worked perfectly, her captors had no idea what they’d trapped. It’d been over a year since she’d seen her husband, but even with her eyes closed, she knew the moment John entered the room.

“Leave the new prisoner here, there’s room for both of them,” the guard said.

John sat beside her, together again, her heart flipped. She opened her eyes and waited. Tonight they’d be free. The guard stalled in front of her and she took her shot.

POW! I hope you felt her emotions as she knocked out the guard. Wish I could see her husband’s face, something tells me it holds a knowing grin. Hope you enjoyed my flash today!!

Gina took one last look at the man still sound asleep in his bed and let herself wonder what if. A curl of hair licked at his tender brow and temptation tickled through her. The sun maybe up and ready for the day, but he was clueless. She hoped to sneak away before he rose and thought better of the time they’d spent together. Her heart ached, she’d never really get to know this man, this man that challenged her completely, but she had to be the one that left. She couldn’t bear him telling her she wasn’t good enough.
