Flash Fiction #38

I saw this prompt on the website, Wattpad. I missed the deadline to submit for the writing contest, but I still want to write about it. "A deal with the devil."

Hope you enjoy.

~~~

This is what I always wanted to do, but it was never the way I would imagine everything would happen. What was it that made me this way?

Why?

This is what I get for wanting to succeed my dream. What did I end up giving up? My mediocre normal life? My family? My friends?

If I had known everything around me would have change, I wouldn't have made that deal. I would take everything back to return to the person I love the most. Now I can only watch them from afar. I can no longer be a part of their lives anymore. I wanted to see them grow up to watch where their limitless potential takes them in society.

But now, I'm just a monster.

All I wanted to be was a superhero to protect the city and the ones I love dear.

Flash Fiction #13

The past couple of days have been a mix of a break and focusing more on my WIPs. Sorry about that. I started from scratch on one of my novels, and I realized just how long of a path it will take to reach the end this time around. How I never had this thought about writing this novel before befuddles me... This flash fiction story came to be after I took a walk at a park yesterday. I was watching a family of three, and this idea came into my head which I then quickly went off on my own tangent... ~~~ Just as we came into the park, my only daughter, aged 4 years old, had run off from the path to enjoy the cool breeze under the clear skies and sun. My wife went after her as she called, "Lily, don't go too far! Wait up!" Lily stopped at the spot she was on the grass, turned around, and grinned. "Catch me!" Then she continued running as my wife continued lagging behind.  I laughed as I took out my DSLR camera from my bag, and began to adjust the set...

Flash Fiction #12

This week would be the very first cruise ship that I had taken in my entire life so far. My parents paid for the trip, so I treated it as a sort of celebration from university. The day that we would take the airplane down south to the Carribean to board the cruise ship made my heart pump faster, and my palms all sweaty. Along with being my first cruise, this would be my first time on an airplane. The fear of falling from heights started from my childhood when I fell a couple of times from the top of my bunk bed at home. The trip didn't seem so bad and thankfully I didn't get motion sickness while on the plane. The only uncomfortable feeling I would mention would be the change in air pressure on my ears both at the take off and landing. Never mind about that. The reason I'm writing is because of who I saw on the deck of the cruise ship on the first day. I don't even know her name. It may seem childish to still believe in love at first sight, but I truly felt that when ...

It's almost the end of 2012! I feel as if time really went by fast as the beginning of the year still feels fresh in my mind. It feels fitting as this is my first blog posting. =) The purpose to this blog would be sharing bits and pieces of my thoughts from time to time. It would be a place where my thoughts are gathered. In addition, I am an amateur writer and it would be a good place to practice my writing skills in the form of possible flash fictions or short stories when I get a good idea to start off. I hope you'll enjoy that when they go up from time to time... One of my resolution for next year would be to try to write at least a minimum of 1000 words each week on one of my working stories or short stories since I didn't really do as much writing as I would have hope last year. As I'm new to blogging, I'm still learning what to and how to formulate on what to write on a blog for a posting so everything is a learning process. I'm quite confused of th...
