Flash Fiction Friday Challenge for 9-10-10

 (Source image: "Into Tub" by Kathy Slamen)

Your challenge for this Friday, 9-10-10, is to use the photo above to write a flash fiction of 60-88 words. Here's a phrase for you to use in your submission:

"...the candles' glow was like..."

As usual, nobody's checking word counts, or the key phrase, but you only cheat yourself if you break the rules. Unless you're breaking them to earn a spanking....in which case, see me after class.

The usual reminders apply: if you're planning on joining in the fun, please email me (insatiabear (AT) gmail [DOT] com) or leave a comment here. And please, for the love of all that's holy, include a website address if you email me, or if your commenting profile doesn't have a link to your page. It makes things a whole hell of a lot easier for me, which I'm sure you all want to do. :) If you don't let me know you're playing, or don't tell me where you can be found, I'll have to leave you off the list of participants when I post it on Friday. And nobody wants that.

Here's a button for you if you want to include that in your post. Use it to link back to the challenge post, if you like, or link to the Flash Fiction Friday FAQ if you'd rather do that. That Flash Fiction Friday FAQ is also the link you should visit if you're new to the whole FFF thing and have questions. I want everybody to enjoy this, after all.

Check back here on Friday for my take on the challenge and the list of participants, and then again on Monday for the next FFF challenge! And as always, if you have any photos or artwork you'd like to see used in an upcoming week, send them my way.

Flash Fiction Friday 9-3-10: "The Flame Within"

(Source image: "Samba Beat 2" by Toon Stalpers).

The beat pulsed like a living thing, pounding in the blood, vibrating the senses, thrumming along every exposed nerve. Out on the dancefloor she whirled like a dervish, the cynosure of every man's eye. A wisp of a girl, one you could have taken for a mere teenager if not for the language her body spoke so eloquently. This was pure woman, moving with complete awareness of her body, its uses, and its effects on others. She smiled secretly to herself, feeling their stares, and threw back her head as she turned up the flame to full burn.

She swayed and spun to the rhythm, hips undulating, torso gyrating, breasts heaving. Sweat coated her in a fine mist, giving her a look as if she'd been dipped in oil. Economy and precision; passion, grace and fire. Every artful angle of her limbs, every step to the frantic beat, every slow pulse of her hips, every motion of hand and wrist and thigh and shoulder – it all spoke almost unbearably of sensuality beyond comprehension, a flame that could scorch anyone to ashes....or, phoenixlike, make them reborn.

Eyes shut tight, she spun and twisted her way into their fantasies, the music passing over and through her, carrying her away, bubbling in her blood. The flame within burned brightly, a living torch in the night.

Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of 150-180 words. Additionally, I provided a key phrase I wanted to see used somewhere in the submission:

"...passion, grace and fire..."

I broke my own rules this week, going about forty words over the count, so you folks get to decide what sort of punishment I'm due. Eh? :)


The following people let me know they're participating this week. Go check out their take on this FFF, won't you, and thank 'em for playing along.

Flash Fiction Friday 8-20-10: "Tableau"

(Photo/artwork provided by Charles; artist and source unknown)

Stunned, James froze in the doorway, eyes taking in the tableau. His wife Faith, arranged in a chair like a Greek goddess with attendants. And such attendants! Faith's two best friends, Prudence and Charity, as naked as the day they were born, hands frozen in the act of removing her clothing.

They stared back in utter silence. Their eyes were somehow accusing. A tremor ran through him and he knew it for what it was: proof that in this room he was completely unnecessary. Was, in fact, an unwelcome intruder.

“T-terribly sorry,” he stammered at last, hating himself for being so very British. He backed hurriedly out and leaned against the door, fanning himself.

His cock told of urgent need to be released. He knew he needed a wank, and right now. He fled, almost running.

(Click for details on FFF!)

Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of 87-137 words. Additionally, I provided a key phrase I wanted to see used somewhere in the submission:

"...their eyes were somehow accusing..."

Nobody's checking word counts, or for the key phrase, but you're only cheating yourself if you break the rules. Unless you're doing it to earn a spanking (in which case, see me after class).

Flash Fiction Friday 8-13-10: "Red Light District"

(Image source: "Red at Night" by Carter Vaughn)

She turned to face him, breasts swaying, sweat trickling down her face. Her body glowed in the wash of crimson light.

He shook his head. “Not like that,” he said, motioning her to turn around again. She grinned as she realized what he wanted, and braced herself in the open window. The night air was cool on her skin, but his hands on her ass were quite hot.

She sighed as he drove upward and into her. Sighing, she pressed back against him, wiggling her ass as he slid slowly in and out. Sighing, she spread herself for his use, flaunting herself for the world to see, only caring for this stolen moment, this ephemeral pleasure, this welcomed invasion.

Your challenge for today was to use the picture above and write a flash fiction of 80-120 words. Additionally, I provided a key phrase I wanted to see used somewhere in the submission:

"...her body glowed in the wash of crimson light..."

Nobody's checking word counts, or for the key phrase, but you're only cheating yourself if you break the rules. Unless you're doing it to earn a spanking (in which case, see me after class).
