flash fiction,

So here’s a wee piece of flash
fiction. A Song About the End of the World’s a whimsical piece
about the end of the world, whales, witches, and failing at flying
broomsticks. In a moment of weakness, Charles Christian, a dashing
fellow if we’re to believe his picture hasn't been photo-shopped, very kindly
included it in his online zine, freshly re-branded from GrievousAngel to SciFi-and-Fantasy.land. Give him your support by reading the stuff he puts up
there.
Here’s the opening paragraph of my
tale:
My
girlfriend told me the world was going to end. She’d heard about it
from the whales. She understood their song and had been listening in
while she took a bath, surrounded by scented candles.
The story’s a short one, a scant few hundred
words, so it won’t take you long to read. It might make you smile,
it might not make you smile. The only way to find out is to sweep
your eyes over it and see.
