Summer Break - #flashfiction
June 23, 2021 14:00 - 28 minutes - 38.9 MBOne of the horror movies that I smile and get giddy for is 2001's Jeepers Creepers. What gets me is that very first scene. Two characters in a car, brother and sister, they got stuff going on, and then BOOM! this crazy truck rolls up and starts smashing them. Crazy! I love this first scene. So much in fact, that I'm going to copy it and write a story around it. This is #flash fiction. A show about writing in real time.

"The Door in the Sky" - #flashfiction
June 16, 2021 14:00 - 25 minutes - 35.1 MBUrban legends seem to have tapered off quite a bit in recent memory. Maybe it was more of a school days thing where now, as an adult, I have to find my weird and interesting in podcast. (yes, more podcast talk) And one in particular is the legend of the floating door. It's just a door that appeared in the sky one day. Too high up to reach without help and then suddenly disappears. What could this door mean? Where could it lead? Who would come out of such a door? Sounds like an interesting ...

"It's Adjusting to Your Being, Not the Other Way Around" - #flashfiction
June 02, 2021 14:00 - 27 minutes - 37.4 MBSnake Oil? MLMs? If there's bullshit people will buy, then there's bullshit to sell. And it is everywhere. Take, for example, orgone. A concept variously described as an esoteric energy or hypothetical universal life force. WHAT?! Yeah, it's amazing how absolutely dumb this thing is. It's literally just a box that you sit in and close the door. That's it. Just wood and metal. So dumb. But! What if it actually did something... weird? This is #flash fiction. A show about writing in real time....

There's a thing called the "assassin bug" here's the link (you've got to read it https://www.bobvila.com/articles/assassin-bugs/ It reminded me of what I was calling "the Bag Man" from Bloodborne.

"It's All Theatrics" - #flashfiction
May 12, 2021 16:28 - 32 minutes - 45 MBI am a user of Reddit (which I'm sure I've mentioned before) and a fan of the r/all page for my news, those hot opinions, and them spicy, spicy memes. Every once in a while, an "Ask Reddit" question pops up and is a doozy of a read in the comment section. This one was something to the affect of "If you could tell everyone in the world one thing, like a whisper from nowhere, what would it be?" And boom! I was off to the races. This is #flash fiction. A show about writing in real time. I’m you...

Always packed full of amazing content. Hats off y'all. On their episode "Nukes" they tell the story of Roger Fisher, a man amongst many things, including implanting codes to a nuclear bomb by the heart of an American citizen. That way, for the President to launch a nuke, they will have to kill this innocent civilian to get the launch codes. Crazy, right...

April 28, 2021 15:00 - 27 minutes - 38.2 MBI read to my oldest son every night and we have these Marvel "read-a-long" books. Sort of like a book on tape. It's pretty neat.

In the background, is a strange fellow who becomes our protagonist in this week's story. This is #flash fiction. A show about writing in real time. I’m your host, Eric M ...
