Flash Fiction Challenge: Feast of the Ninja

Paulie the possum has had it with eating berries and bugs. There’s a nice trash can over there, just brimming with goodies.

He can smell the pizza crusts, half-eaten hamburgers and yummy melon rinds.

All he has to do is get around that sleeping little white yapper over there.

This should be no problem for a skilled ninja-like possum like Paulie.

Flash Fiction Challenge: Déjà View

Photo by K.S. Brooks

Everything is the same. The flag is even blowing in the same direction.There stands the tower, just as it appeared in his dreams.

No girl plunging to her death, though. At least, she wasn’t there yet.

The dreams had haunted him for months, summoning him from his farm in Kansas to this spot. Why?

Is he here to prevent the girl from dying, or merely to witness it?

He sets his jaw in grim determination and heads toward the tower.
