      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Flash fiction comes in many sizes and styles. This is a collection of a subgroup of flash fiction known as the Quickie. These stories are from 101 words to 500 words long. They are fast and can be very fun to write. You need to be able to control your words; there is no padding in a quickie fiction.

      Inspired by the many images I have collected over twenty years of being on-line, they range from silly to sweet, from intense to reflective. There are tales from an animal’s point of view to mystical thoughts of a creative mind. While the tales are my take on the images I have seen, my hope is that I have sparked the creative in my reader and that they will see something wonderful and inspiring in the images I try to paint with my words.

      What’s wrong, you askin?  His voice was rough and held a burr that was all too familiar on a day like today.  Well, let me tell you.  Profiling!  Racial Profiling is what is wrong!

      He snorted and banged down his beer, the golden fluid sloshing over the top to splash and puddle on the scarred wood of the table.  I eased into the chair across from him and tilted my head, my best ‘tell me about it’ look on my face.

      He looked at me, more a glare, but he continued.  "Every year they all decide to
