Flash Fiction: Blinkbirds are Fast!

Is everyone too busy for LJ these days? I know I am, some days. I've been peeking at LJ on and off since the Muse Fusion started, but mostly off, since there's been real world stuff to deal with and writing to do.

But I'm not here to complain, I'm here to share a bit of my Muse Fusion work with you.

So far, I've completed a poem, Surprises at Sea, which can be sponsored for $10, and a short story called A Promise of Leather, which is definitely in the "spicy" category, which can be sponsored for $24. I'm also willing to write the (definitely adult) sequel for an additional $20, though I suspect it will run longer than 2000 words.  You can sponsor stories using my paypal button (below) or Torn World credits.

And now, I hope to brighten your day by sharing one of my Muse Fusion stories with you:

Blinkbirds are Fast

Mradi was chopping vegetables for dinner, when Filor ran past, an iridescent black wig on his head and a blue piece of paper cut into frills in one upraised hand. “Chirp Chirp!” He narrowly missed her elbow.

“Filor! Calm down!”

“It’s a blinkbird, Mom. Blinkbirds are fast. And I’m not Filor—I’m Filirii, a Mayaloi boy. Can’t you see my hair?”

“Well, blinkbirds can’t be fast in here while I’m making dinner.”

Filor’s hand darted to the vegetables, grabbing a slice.

“Filor, this knife is sharp! You could get hurt!”

Munching, he smiled up at her. ( "Blinkbirds are too fast to be cut with a kitchen knife"... )

Please let me know what you think!
