Each Saturday (apologies for the lateness this week!), we will showcase 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.
