  • Meadow Tea Party (Snapshot Stories 41)

    The little girl wandered through the sunny meadow. In her hands, she carefully carried a tiny picnic rug and a toy tea set which included a teapot, 4 cups and saucers all on a tray, all decorated with delicate lilacs and roses. The meadow was filled with bright green grass in every direction, and bright,…

  • The Night Traveller (Snapshot Stories 40)

    The Night Traveller descended gracefully from the faraway skies. She caught the prevailing winds and headed rapidly towards the Dreaming Islands. The islands were well-populated, happy and thriving, and right now, sleeping peacefully as the islands breathed deeply under the rose-hued moon. The buildings rose and swayed gently from side to side with every inhalation…

  • Scattered Stars (Snapshot Stories 39)

    Between the scattered stars, the moon rises bright and shy. The darkness all around is alive with the careful, cheerful, busy songs of unseen creatures as they get on with their night-lives. And if you breathe in deep, you can smell the faint scent of the rain-dropped frangipanis around you. Or, if you prefer the…

  • The Sea Was Flat (Snapshot Stories 37)

    The sea was flat, and heat claimed the night. Somewhere, a dog barked.And her imagination painted smugglers onto the pale, empty sands. Backstory: probably one of my microfics that I’m proudest of. It’s probably nearly 10 years old now. There is a longer story attached to this which still lives in my head. One day……

  • The Stream (Snapshot Stories 36)

    The newcomer to the mountain village spent a lot of time walking. Her cherry-red coat was very visible between tall fir trees smudged with mist and alongside the preoccupied mountain streams. She seemed to favour one of the streams in particular. The one where its bridge looked over the neatly-edged black stones, divided by the…

  • The Tree of Life (Snapshot Stories 35)

    It snowed on the Tree of Life last night. Thousands upon thousands of petals, detaching and gently drifting on the breeze. At first, they appear all white, but as they land on your hands, your knees and the grass beside you, they exhale. In hues of lilac, sky, ocean and rose. Back to Snapshot Stories

  • Ajar and into the night (Snapshot Stories 34)

    When the book got left ajar on the shelf, the black-and-white cat slipped out from between the pages and disappeared through the open window into the night. A little silhouette in a world of starlight. The book waited patiently for her return. In the meantime, holding her memory tight. For Rookie 🩷 Back to Snapshot…

  • Rainfall (Snapshot Stories 33)

    The rain didn’t smell like the usual seeded clouds tonight. It was sharper, clearer. As though it was falling from the stars. From the patio, the young woman stood unmoving. She breathed in deeply, filling her lungs with the scents of clean, of petrichor, of long-ago rains. In front of her, the silver dogs ran…

  • Ree-Writes #29: Twirling

    Ree-flections (of things done) My words are still trickling very slowly. But I’ve taken to browsing my pretty notebook in which I’ve jotted down all my favourite microfics. Most of these stories are tiny – created for Twitter and its original 140-character limit. I’m now playing with these tales and sometimes expanding them a bit.…

  • Twirling (Snapshot Stories 32)

    In the village square, the piano accordion music twirled and swirled. It sang as it wound its way around the fast drums and joyfully dancing bodies. It rose, higher and higher, into the night. Past the golden lanterns, past the rooftops, and past the tops of the trees. Until it felt to the girl as…

  • The Water Sprite (Snapshot Stories 31)

    The water sprite sat crossed-legged on the lily pad and carefully sewed together her autumn leaves of ruby, sunshine, orange and crimson into an elegant dress for the Last Day of Autumn Ball. She kissed every leaf before she added it to the dress and she hoped this time, the colours would last. Backstory: This…
