My flash-fiction project, gearing up my brain for bigger fiction works to come, has a new installment. “(fictional) notes from The British Museum #9” is now live at my portfolio site, MaryAnnJohanson.com — follow along via the flash fiction tag — and also over at my Patreon.
As a tease, here is the object that inspired today’s story:
These flash-fiction stories are available to all Patreon patrons at the $1/month level or above. Thank you for your support!
And just an FYI: these stories are not about history, or museums, or even about what the objects that inspire them literally are. These objects just offer a creative spark. Most of the stories so far have been some flavor of science fiction or fantasy; one had a definite horror tinge to it. Because that’s just where my brain goes.
I hope you enjoy them.
As someone who bought my nephew a gargoyle puppet for his birthday when he was little, I can relate to this story. It feels like it might be the beginning of a novel. But on the other hand, I hope Brave Gamgee is reading your flash fiction; if he ever draws a Power Beaver comic book, firedog needs to be in it.
