Re: A Series of Short Stories

That was the intent, but it wasn't communicated very well. I tried to do a lot of things in those last few paragraphs without actually laying enough groundwork for them to make sense.

Re: A Series of Short Stories

I'll note that the prompt is flawed.

Drinking age in Japan is 20, and in Scotland it's 18 with no restrictions, or 16 for wine, beer, or cider ordered with a meal (granted, the prompt doesn't work there).

Still, it works at 20 as well as it does at 21, and the way you wrote it, they're in Japan ...

Re: A Series of Short Stories

(This one is equally-if-not-more pointless than some of the other shorts, but I liked the prompt and I half like the finished product. I need to revisit it, but I need to sleep more right now.)

Heading the Ball

Shit. I looked down at the hunk of metal and plastic in my hands. Rubbing at the ...

Re: A Series of Short Stories

So I'm back after a bit. Wrote one or two new things from more random prompts from KSG, so I might as well post them here and get some more feedback on it. Forgot how much I enjoyed writing.

Blind Drunk

(Prompt: Akira takes Lilly out drinking for her 21st.)

I clung to Akira's arm slightly ...

Re: A Series of Short Stories

I should have specified - these three stories, and the ones I'm working on now, were based off of prompts given to me by KSG. I think it was "Hisao and Emi go to an amusement park", "Hisao and Rin go to the aquarium", and "Hanako cooks for Hisao", in order.

But thank you for the feedback! I ...

Re: A Series of Short Stories

Stroganoff.

The grocery bags hit the kitchen table with a muted thud, and Hanako hit the chair next to her with much the same sound. She'd had to walk all over town to get the ingredients for this dish – why did Hisao's favorite food have to be some weird western dish she'd never heard of? - but ...

Re: A Series of Short Stories

Fish.

*Thunk.*

Rin brought her head to rest against the glass of the fishtank with a noticeable thud, jerking Hisao out of his reverie.

“Hey, you aren't supposed to knock on the glass, Rin. Didn't you see the signs?”

She was silent for a moment before responding, never once moving from her ...

Re: A Series of Short Stories

Halo.

“We're here!” Hisao shut off the car and fell back into his seat slightly. He was still new to this driving thing, and it had taken two hours of dedicated traveling to get here. For most people, that would be enough to take the wind out of their sails, if only temporarily. Not for his ...

A Series of Short Stories

Hey all. I've been attempting to get back into writing more regularly as of late, and these are those efforts. Nothing terribly long until I get back into the swing of things, but short scenes so I can continue to flex my muscles and maybe get in the proper headspace for a longer venture.

As with ...
