Friday Flash Fiction

Over on his blog, Gareth L Powell came up with the idea of posting a short story every Friday. Friday Flash Fiction has already been adopted by:

  • Paul Raven
  • Martin McGrath
  • Neil Beynon

    By Gareth D Jones

    This story now appears in the Illuminations anthology.
