MicroFlashFiction - Short Stories and Experimental Narratives. '...my experimental approach to writing is suited to this medium...it's an odd kind of laughter sometimes...and it's always in the hidden places...(an ongoing series of) imaginative journeys into experimental fiction...' Writing Review, Q+A - 2024. Steve Coel
Hats.
Q: I understand objections to order, but are you questioning authority or society?
A: Sitting a bit on the fence here, I guess I'd rather leave that up to the reader.
Are my objections so clear cut? I'm not sure really.
I don't feel uncomfortable being objectionable to those who should know, and do, better! It's just my idea of being just and fair.

Writing with your ears. [ Part 2 ]
Writing with your ears [ Part 2 ]
I sat opposite
a very elderly couple.
The gentleman
was recalling
story after story
to a rather
mystified lady.
He told her
about his father,
and his attitude
to work
following WW1.
He was,
I have to say,
a very good
storyteller.

30 years ago
in Brixton, London
I had a conversation
in a pub,
with a lady
who had been
born in a brothel
in France
during WW1
and was still wearing
her mother's fur coat
that very evening.
40 years ago
I had a drink,
in a pub,
with a father and son.
The father
had been a boy soldier
in the Boer war
in 1900.
As a writer
of micro flash fiction
I am sensing,
ever so slightly,
a shift
in source material!

Q: Beginnings, middles endings?
A: Not necessarily. Not for me. Well not all the time.
There you go, a beginning, a middle and an ending!
I know what you're saying. Do you need that comfort zone when you read a short fiction?
No; me too.
Well there you go then.
A good story ends up the way it is, not the way you're told it should.

Q: When writing: character, setting, context?
A: I guess anything or everything really. There isn't a formula to most of what I end up doing. But sometimes a pattern of thinking can surface.
What do you think?
