Three more short stories
Three weeks ago, I shared three short stories I wrote for the #fridayflash Twitter group. The #fridayflash Twitter group encourages creativity by giving you a platform to reach readers every week. In addition to receiving feedback from other followers of the #fridayflash hashtag, you also get to read some fantastic work by other talented writers.
To follow what I did three weeks ago, here are three more short stories.
Pink Slip
Daniel stood in the line of wall washers. He stood in position four and had perfected his timing over the forty years at his post.
Wall washer. Position four. Wipe and swipe.
Friedrich’s Field

The game warden would have Kevin’s ass if he was caught after sunset trying to scare up birds, but Kevin didn’t care.
Read the rest of Friedrich’s Field.
Camera Shy
“Why are they watching us?” Michael asked from the top of his crate. He preached his message in the park every weekend. No one usually stopped, but today Michael had a single listener. He still preached as if he stood in an auditorium, a coliseum; he preached as he would if he were to speak to the entire world.
