Flash Fiction Challenge: Crisis of Consciousness

Photo by K.S. Brooks

Sixty year-old Doug Slater was a wealthy New York banker. One night, his high-stress life caught up with him. Doug had a stroke in his sleep. For the last four years, he has been in a coma.

The last thing he remembered was going to sleep. No one was more surprised than Doug when he woke up this morning.

Partly, this was because he didn’t know where he was. Mostly, though, he was surprised to discover that he was now a young Latino man.

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

Please keep language and subject matter to a PG-13 level.

Use the comment section below to submit your entry. Entries will be accepted until Tuesday at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Continue reading “Flash Fiction Challenge: Crisis of Consciousness”
