Description
The fourth volume of fifty flash fictions and longer short stories featured on Morgen Bailey's blog, http://morgenbailey.wordpress.com. Written from different prompts, and published at 5pm daily from June 2012. Other volumes available. Stories in these collections vary in length, point of view (first, second and third) and genre.
Here we have young and old love, spirited and strained relationships, local and exotic locations, and those who love or loathe shopping, circuses and those who think their life is a circus. We meet a disillusioned artist, an eight-foot tall blue alien, untidy teenagers, a fortune teller, and several dogs and dead (human) bodies.
The stories are: Two short (551 words), Dog collar (60), Just like Christmas (213), He doesn't look right (133), Neighbourhood Watch (219), Daddy's girl (200), Red suit and all (150), African grey blues (360), Cry Baby (284), Chalk and fromage (part 1) (251), Chalk and fromage (part 2) (339), Most people (114), The picture on the mantelpiece (199), Like a newborn (347), Hand-painted £2.50 (451), Just a couple of initials (264), Without knowing (470), Until the red light (306), Not listening (198), Dad's Army (264), Others would knock (214), Not red like I asked (465), Stage left, Henry!
