• 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

• 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…

• Black Butterfly (Snapshot Story 30)

  Behind her eyelids, the world was the warmest, glowing sunset. There were the richest tones of deep orange, highlights of paler orange, and memories of gentle yellows. All-encompassing, embracing and utterly peaceful. As she breathed it all in admiringly, a tiny black butterfly fluttered at the edges of her vision, dancing and moving as through…

• The Lost Boy (Snapshot Story 29)

  The lost boy loved watching her cook. Not because he loved cooking. And not because he loved her. No, he loved watching the way she wrote the oil into the pan. It was different each time. A new meal, a new constellation, a new language. The lost boy wondered everything. He wondered what the language…

• Flowersend (Snapshot Stories 28)

  The shop was one of several on the outskirts of the village. It was one of a string of shopfronts standing sheepishly next to a run of haughty houses, as though aware they were unwelcome interlopers. Across the road, planned green areas had dwindled into indifferent, unkempt areas which then drifted into over-long grasses which…

• The Tree of Clouds (Snapshot Stories 27)

  One day, a cloud dropped the seed it was holding. The cloud hadn’t quite meant to drop it right at that very moment, but these things happen, and then they happen as they will. So the cloud didn’t worry about the seed and floated on its way. The seed twisted and twirled around in the…

• Climbing the Stone Wall (Snapshot Stories 26)

  They stared up at their portion of stone wall. In the hesitant light of the quarter moon, they could see some of the stones were as wide as their outstretched arms. There were bright flowers of deep pink which bloomed everywhere. Some were as large as their heads, others were tiny enough to perch on…
