2024 February Flash Fiction Challenge: Day 16
Write a piece of flash fiction each day of February with the February Flash Fiction Challenge, led by Managing Editor Moriah Richard. Each day, receive a prompt, example story, and write your own. Today’s prompt is to write a story that rhymes.
For today's prompt, write a story that rhymes.
Remember: These prompts are just starting points; you have the freedom to go wherever your flash of inspiration takes you.
(Note: If you run into any issues with posting your story, please just send me an e-mail at mrichard@aimmedia.com with the subject line: Flash Fiction Challenge Commenting Issue.)
Here’s my attempt at a story that rhymes:
Fae
They dance and dance from dusk until dawn. They lure in your children with song after song.
They hide in the walls and under the stairs. They whisper your name with no one else there.
They want to play; they’re just having fun. But if you get a chance—run.
