2022-Micro-04 - "Midnight"

The prompt for our new Micro Contest is a magical, mysterious time of day – “Midnight”.  Who knows what might happen when that clock strikes twelve? 
Midnight.  Amazing how that one word can stimulate our imaginations!  Midnight can be a color, a degree of darkness,  a time of day, a mood, a state of mind … what does midnight mean to you? 
We look forward to your new stories of 100 words or less inspired by our “Midnight” prompt.  You might enjoy reading explorations of night from some of our previous shortlists while you’re coming up with ideas for your own new story.

Good luck in the contest!

We’ll make a fire and count the stars that shimmer in the trees.” The philosophy of Martin Luther King, Junior’s, “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound… Read more »

I’m curious how the writers here feel about this question: Should flash fiction stories strive to have a beginning, middle and end?

Sharing a Post

Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
