Don’t be afraid to step outside the confines of the box. 
Use your imagination.

Here is my flash fiction 

RESEARCH

The research facilities were her life now.  She’d given up everything to follow her dream.  A career she had aspired to since she was 11 years old and read about the great Roald Amundsen.

Her email pinged. 

‘Hi Anna,
Wanna come to lunch?  Fish fingers today.
Bob’

Bob was the first friend she had made when joining the team; his bushy beard hid a sensual mouth, very white teeth and bright blue eyes that scorched her soul from under his equally bushy eyebrows. 

‘Hi Bob,
Got any ketchup?
Anna’

Nine months later baby Bob made his entry into the history books.

  7. Dear Sally,

    At least she found a way to keep warm, didn't she? Nicely done. I love the use of email in the story.

    Shalom,

  9. Don't often read about fish fingers and babies in the same short story! Incidentally I prefer brown sauce with mine! Just thought I'd mention it!
