Monday’s One-Minute Fiction: Week of June 4

Rise and shine! May I borrow a minute of your morning for a quick flash fiction challenge? How quickly does an idea spark and develop into a story when you only have a picture, a word, or a phrase…and one minute to write?

Monday’s One-Minute Fiction challenges you to write a complete micro-fiction piece in, you guessed it, one minute, no more, no less, based on the prompt provided! Of course, you can come back to edit for grammar & spelling, but the story itself must be written in a minute.

It’s June, it’s hot! People are already thinking about summer plans, summer bods not yet achieved. How do you plan to spend these sunny days? Baking under the sun? Lounging at the beach or by the pool? Cooking out because it’s too damn hot to be turning the oven on inside? Taking a day trip to the countryside? If you’re not sure yet, maybe this week’s #1MinFiction prompt will help you make a decision…

Now it’s time for the rules. I don’t have many, because we all know rules are no fun, but here are the basic logistics for each challenge:

• Write your story in one minute. (Use a stop watch to keep yourself honest. 😉 )
• Post it to your blog and tag it #1MinFiction.
• Link it back to this prompt post.

Let’s get writing, shall we? And…
