One month.

Thirty-one stories.

Thirteen challenges.

One faerie empire.

And somewhere in the darkest reaches of space, trapped aboard the living ship they each came to by a different route, three human fugitives fighting to stay alive.

Brianna wants to rescue her employer’s child from a fate which must be worse than death. Krati wants revenge for a world and a childhood destroyed. Adela just wants to find a place she can call home. These 31 very short stories weave their tale from start to finish, between those of the occasional post-apocalyptic lemonade stand or vampiric Tyrannosaurus Rex. Written entirely during July 2019 as a part of Flash Fiction Month.

Phoenix (and 30 other stories) is the product of my sixth Flash Fiction Month, which is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin: a month-long challenge to write a story every day. This is 2019’s harvest.

I’ve also done FFM in 2014, 2015,  2016, 2017, and 2018.
