Space and Dark Space Space and Dark Space By Megan Cutler | October 24, 2016 | Comments 8 comments I’ve been posting writing prompts for a year now. A lot of them are interconnected in one way or another, so it may be time for a little site re-organization. It’s true I am telling stories in fragments, but it may be time to let them be stories. I have been steadily introducing the characters … Read More Read More
This is What I Dreaded (Part 1) This is What I Dreaded (Part 1) By Megan Cutler | October 21, 2016 | Comments 3 comments For this prompt, I set myself an extra challenge. For once, I wanted to write some genuine flash fiction. So I composed two 300 word stories (yes, both stories are exactly 300 words), the first of which is posted below. . . . “This is exactly what I dreaded.” Valerian clicked his tongue, sighed and … Read More Read More
Their Childhood Their Childhood By Megan Cutler | October 7, 2016 | Comments 2 comments One of my strongest memories is the day I met my father. It happened not long after the death of my mother; a day I can’t forget no matter how hard I try. I thought the mystery of my father died with her, that he would always be a ghost, haunting the edge of my … Read More Read More
Stars Blazed in the Night Sky Stars Blazed in the Night Sky By Megan Cutler | September 30, 2016 | Comments 2 comments It wasn’t much of a planet. Actually, it isn’t a planet, Dragon interrupted in the tone he’d come to consider ‘helpful.’ Rather than a flash of annoyance, Kantis couldn’t help but smile. Right. Well, I suppose if you think of it as a moon, it’s got a lot going for it. It wasn’t a barren, … Read More Read More
A Year in Review A Year in Review By Megan Cutler | September 23, 2016 | Comments 1 comment This prompt marks one year of weekly story-telling. As such, my writing partner and I agreed that we should do something a little special. The ‘prompt’ therefore came to include as many references to past prompts as possible in the scene. We both had very different approaches and agreed it was a fun exercise. I … Read More Read More

Nightmare Nightmare By Megan Cutler | September 16, 2016 | Comments 2 comments A sea of tall grass swayed in the stiff breeze. Colored blossoms bobbed and danced between the stalks, bright splotches of color like dots of paint still wet from the artists’ brush. Sunlight filled a sky empty of clouds and bluer than she’d ever seen. On the corner of her vision, Domerin Lorcasf stooped to … Read More Read More
Obsession Revisited Obsession Revisited By Megan Cutler | September 9, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment Domerin’s smile faltered and he rushed to replace it with a false approximation. His partner was sensitive to his moods these days, especially those remotely negative, and he wasn’t in the mood for another argument. For months Kail had gone on about the Winter Solstice Ball in the capital, so enamored with the idea of … Read More Read More
Time Sensitive Mail Time Sensitive Mail By Megan Cutler | September 2, 2016 | Comments 3 comments Beneath the half-finished designs of a wedding dress, beside the discarded plan for a new type of directed explosive, sat a half-finished letter. Ves plucked it from the pile of disorganized chaos, folded it carefully and tucked it into the envelope with the rest. That left only the final piece of correspondence. She had spent … Read More Read More
12 Hours Before the End 12 Hours Before the End By Megan Cutler | August 26, 2016 | Comments 3 comments “This isn’t goodbye.” Domerin couldn’t blame his daughter for her skeptical expression. She had taken one look at him when he said Hello, Sunshine, and her face had turned ashen pale. Her demand to know what was happening was a reasonable one, but the answer was complex and he had never been good with words, … Read More Read More
