Google+ and Facebook Just Got BIGGER!

Two changes occurred last week in the two biggest social media platforms.

This is really big!

You might have noticed that your cover photo on Google+ is all messed up. They have recently changed the dimensions, allowing you to add bigger pictures. It’s really simple and worth the few minutes to fix the profile.

Flash Fiction Challenge: Burnished

I think I can speak for the whole crew when I say that was the most exciting fire we ever fought.

It wasn’t the fire itself, but all the gold bars we found in the wreckage of the crashed plane that started the fire.

There were nine of us to divvy up over six hundred pounds of gold. We thought we had it made.

We didn’t think far enough ahead. It seems the gold was a payout for an illegal shipment of some sort.

The fellows who were supposed to get the gold came looking for it. That’s when the trouble started.

In 250 words or less, tell us a story incorporating the elements in the picture. The 250 word limit will be strictly enforced.

US Air Force Lt. Col. Eagle Tryggvesson got more than she bargained for when she tangled with Navy Rear Admiral Richard Westland over a proposal for an elite Special Forces unit. Eventually losing the battle, Westland swore that she would fail- he would make certain of that. Eagle must fight against discrimination and corruption to put her highly unorthodox team together. She arrives at China Lake Naval Weapons Station to find the beginnings of Westland’s sabotage. It would be up to her and the members of her team to beat the deck that had been stacked against them.

Her second in command is the handsome and brilliant Maj. D.M. Elliott who falls in love with her despite their difference in rank and the prohibitive chain of command. They must work together to keep their team and their love alive. The team battles terrorists, violent gang members, and their own personal demons along with the frightening bouts of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that haunt many warriors.
