bb santx Maybe a prompt or two is in order: https://www.thefirstline.com/. At the old Zoetrope, we had a Flash Fiction group with weekly prompts. I miss that group!
Alex Morton You ran that group!
bb santx I did. I wasn't very good at it, but we always had fun.
Alex Morton It was VERY good! I often read what was posted there, but since I virtually never write flashes, I didn't post.
E. Writer Nice! I didn't see that article. They have the short story fiction contest coming up too.
Eugenio Cappuccio I asked AI when it will back up but she didn’t know…
E. Writer AI didn't even know the virtual workshop closed down. Coppola stopped advertising about the virtual workshop I think in the 2010s.
Eugenio Cappuccio Sorry, missed the date on that article. Old news.
E. Writer That's okay, I didn't notice the date either lol
Eugenio Cappuccio We are such stuff as dreams are made on and our little lives are rounded with sleep.
Alex Morton I just heard a CBC radio interview this morning with the author of A World Appears .. A Journey into Consciousness and immediately thought this might interest you.
E. Writer Thanks , I'll have to check it out.
Roy Scarbrough The other day I took an afternoon nap and woke up at 6:30. I slept so hard I thought it was 6:30 a.m. I was ready to start my day. It's the way the sun sets and rises now at those two hours. Looks the same.
E. Writer I swear I have had that happen. My husband laughs every time. I'll say, "Is it morning?" and he'll say, "No, it's 8pm."
Eugenio Cappuccio Raison d'Être
When your weighty breasts my faltering faith nurse,
no planets kindle more life,
around us just distant strife,
life's no longer a cold, meaningless curse,
nor I a numbed graveyard stone,
but, Lazarus reborn, give thanks and moan
for your sacred flame in this Godless universe,
that, pressed to your breasts, I burn not alone,
for your round solidity is my sustenance
in a ghostly infinity without substance.
Eugenio Cappuccio Thanks, Alex.
Eugenio Cappuccio Thanks, E. Writer.
