It’s publication day today for my VERY SHORT STORY The Battle of Stubbins Bridge, Wordsworth Flash Fiction #15.
In 2023, I started a writing challenge. The challenge was to write 12 short stories in 12 months. I joined again in 2024. The Battle of Stubbins Bridge is one of those stories.
We were given the prompt ‘hysteria’ and a target of exactly 1,200 words. We could choose whatever we liked and we didn’t even need to use the prompt. I had no idea what to write a first, and then I remembered the black pudding throwing championships I’d recently read about, and an idea was born.
A lot of fun to write, this version of The Battle of Stubbins Bridge runs to just over 1,200 words, and you can buy it here.
Happy publications day!
Thank you!
