Hello everybody! Here's this week's story. It's more character-based than most of the stories I've done so far. I hope you enjoy it! :)
Title: Free Flier (suggestions welcomed)
Warnings: None
Summary: Nancy Evans becomes someone else when she flies.
Length: ~1,400 words
Notes: First person point of view, present tense. I am not sure what the genre is.
My goal: To write one short story a week for a year for a total of 52 short stories. If you like reading and/or seeing people challenge themselves, this is a good blog to follow!

Story #20 - For My Father
Hey, everyone. This may be rather predictable, especially after what I did on Mother's Day, but I couldn't leave my dad out on Father's Day! So, this is a tribute to my wonderful dad. Happy Father's Day, Dad! This one's for you. :)
Title: For My Father
Warnings: None
Summary: A tribute to my dad, for Father's Day. :)
Length: ~1,100 words
Notes: First person point of view, past tense for the most part. Genre is one I'm kind of making up for have several stories that will fit into it, so - tribute.

Story #19 - Waiting For Mommy
Hello, everybody! This week's story includes something I haven't done before: different third person points of view. Also, I challenged myself to include no dialogue. I hope you enjoy the story! Oh, and thank you for the comments on last week's story. :)
Title: Waiting For Mommy
Warnings: none
Summary: One little girl is waiting for her mom to pick her up. One mom is desperate to pick up her little girl.
Length: ~ 1,150 words
Notes: Third person point of view (two perspectives). Past tense. The genre is probably closest to drama.

Story #18 - Rebellion
Hey! So this week's story is pretty different than my other ones. I figured it was time for a darker story. Although, depending on how you look at it, this story can be a tragedy or an inspiration. Anyway, this one's about suicide, so don't read it if that bothers you. It doesn't reflect my views about suicide. I am not suicidal, and I would urge anyone who is feeling that way to talk to someone. In the case of this story, I thought it would be interesting to explore the ethics of a society where suicide is impossible, or at least very difficult.
Er... anyway... enjoy?
Title: Rebellion
Warnings: suicide/suicidal themes, bad language, homosexuality (mild and unrequited)
Summary: "Suicide is the most powerful form of protest, the ultimate act of rebellion."
Length: 2,400 words
Notes: Shifting point of view - first person for the present and third person for the flashbacks. Present tense. This can fit a lot of genres, so I'll just list them all here: angst, tragedy, sci-fi, drama. I'd say it's predominantly angst.
