Laura T Emery

I love reading Flash Fiction and have, in fact, written my own anthology of 100 of them; in reading this third book by the author for this series, I once again became enthralled in the author’s creativity and sheer brilliance in writing the type of Flash Fiction she does.

While I might have taken a single prompt word, from a now defunct website, in writing most of the ones I written, with the only limitation having been their length of only five sentences. The only way I found to increase the level of the challenge being presented to me had been to use the letters of the given prompt word as an acrostic from which I had to then start each of the five sentences with. The author, Ms. Emery, written her Flash Fictions in a far more challenging manner.

Instead of just using a single word I like did, Ms. Emery takes a complete list of words given to her by her readers, and transforms it into a genuine story; one with a beginning, middle and ending. When one considers the variety of words she gets from all parts of speech: nouns, common nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, etc., you can just imagine the gruesome challenge she must face each week; yet, each week she succeeds in meeting the challenge she’d been given. But, be forewarned, to accomplish her goal, the language she uses can be quite risqué or political in nature.

To add to her reader’s enjoyment in reading this book, she invites them to take the same list and write their own stories, which is a challenge I’d love to take once I find some free time. For having given her readers an entertaining and exquisite reading experience I’ve given Ms. Emery 5 STARS.

This volume also contains several stories by guest contributors who had submitted their stories to the author, and had been worthy enough to be included in this book.… (meer)
