NFFD 2020: Prompt 16

Alphabetically Speaking

Write a story in twelve sentences. The first word of the first sentence must begin with F (the first letter in FLASH FICTION). The second sentence must begin with L, the third with A, and so on.

OR

Write a 26-line dialogue between two characters. The first character’s first sentence begins with A, the second character’s with B, and continue alternating until you reach the end of the alphabet.

The challenge, in both cases, is to make the flash sound natural!
