Each Saturday, this year, we will show case the weekly short fiction offerings of our writers.

Some writers are inspired by the [Fiction Friday] prompt at Write Anything and others contribute to JM Strother’s #FridayFlash via Twitter.

We hope you take the time to enjoy the varied and entertaining array of stories this week.
