Black Heart: Flash Fiction Entry

The flaming copper coin burns green.
I drop it into the iron bowl, surrounded by other alchemical apparatus on my table. The hex blossom melts into the green flames. The mixture transmutes from smouldering solids into a black liquid.
Poison to kill my faithless whore.
The liquid swirls around. I check the temperature with my finger. Perfect.
The fumes make me cough. I cover my mouth. My lips burn.
I draw my hand away to see a black smear.
Drool from my mouth falls t… Continue

The Portrait of A Relationship



First there were roses: red, tuxedo: black and eyes: blue.


Then there were no roses. The tuxedo was sold. His eyes grew cold.

Inside A Survivor: A Poem

There is a lack of goodness
How can I believe or trust?
Memories swirl like cyclones
My insides gone to rust
My fields are overturned
The soil beneath them
Thick with poison
Nothing I plant
Will grow

Survivor.

In what way
Do I, survive?
My corpse breathes, grins, moves
My soul is rotten
I’ve been forgotten
Left. Abandoned. Disused.
Dead Child
Why do you pretend
That you are alive?
The wind knows, the trampoline… Continue

Golden Flight

I hover above the lake and feel my veins burning. I am a firefly chosen by madness to flit and flicker over the lake. My mind is mindless. I am a creature of nothing but impulses, flashes that lead me into various directions. I glimmer. I know nothing, nothing at all.

Below me is cool and tranquil. Dusk is encompassing me. There are no mosquitos here, although it is summer. There is only me. I alone remember the golden sun, the way it burned everything down, evaporating, drying out my f… Continue

The Wrist of the Traveller



We cling to the wrist of the traveller.

She dances in Italy. She dances in London.

She flees the stones that bruise her skin.



Stone



Your earliest treasure. You found me in the river, a sm

Vixen

Foxykin. Dark I am. My eyes are moss. Green secrets.


Red
I am, flushed and blushed. Body is bared, covered with skin. Feral thoughts burn in me. My smile is made of teeth. Sharp. I can cut you. I can bleed you dry. Your entrails will be my playtoys. I will delight in your death.



The ravens will come when I call them, the beasts belong to me. I claim all that is living. All that touches these ferns. That breathes this violent air.


Blood
happens here.


Sacre… Continue

Okay I just removed the Stephens from my scriberspace name so I might look a little shorter to you all for awhile... I just don't really like my last name so I tend to go by Gemma Louise for my writing side of things. But Stephens is my surname for those that want to facebook friend me, and please do so. Carry on!

This is a very rad idea but I am thinking we could charge $1 or $2 for it, so we can get some form of payment for our work, and to pay for printing costs. And I'm all for costumery.

some beautifull images.

hex blossom - beautiful, my fave in this piece, sounds like an alchemy term (and could well be for all I know!) i wanted to rescue it from the poison and eat it :) I like the directness of this, it works. 'around' bothers me slightly, I aready get t…

Holy trout - I like this. The simplicity is good; that's what flash fiction needs. The twist is cliched (poisoner getting poisoned, from what I gather) but it works because it's written well. Keywords are incorporated well. You and your modesty, Gem…

Aye I thought perhaps instead of an '!' that sentance could have ended with a '...' but then I am overly fond of ...'s...

Mmm I didn't enjoy this one so much. You have done well with the voice but I feel the narrative lacks a bit of direction perhaps. It didn't really hold my interest, possibly just because it isn't my 'type' of story. But I do think juxtaposing music…

Nice... sci-fi in flash fiction format, well done. I like the voice too, sounds almost metallic. Like the ending how the female was let go. Hrm not sure what kinds of constructive criticism I can give for this piece, although I like reading sci-fi I…

I certainly got that the lovers were being kept apart and tortured (the main torture being the separation) but I was unclear on why they were locked up... but for me it didn't really matter, it's a great story and you got the voice perfect and I lov…

Mmm Absinthe. How I miss thee. And I have to disagree Maul dear, Absinthe makes me fond, makes me cheerfully melancholic... not sure how that works but it does. I like your microfic Natalie, but not sure if it works as a completed fiction, as in I f…

ah...typewriter appreciation, wonderful! Tak Tile, Tak Tile, Tak Tile - ding! I still have my old portable Olivetti Lettera 32, green solid metal, zipper case and...no exclamation mark! (but it does have fractions)... oh the poems i tortured her wit…

Hrm I liked this, made me think and feel. I felt the line 'the skin is peeled away and those pretty eyes are sitting dead,' felt just a tad too long for me, perhaps removing the 'and' and replacing with a comma. Though this is really one of those st…

Yeah... I can barely read this story cause it just creeps me out too much. But please take that as a compliment! It really really disturbs me. If it was badly written- it wouldn't. I like the suitable messed-upness of a man giving his daughter a key…

Congratulations Richard! It's great that the library is going to stock you up, it is sensible of them to invest in locals work. I'll try and check it out sometime and tell anyone I know of who is into the western/historical genre. Oh I just thought…

I got so excited when reading this... fantasy! Yay! now I will go back and actually read the whole thing. I feel 'shutter our lamps' doesn't need the 'dimmer' after it, dimmer is redundant in this case and if they shutter their lamps the light would…
