Flash Walk
When National Flash Fiction Day was first founded, many of the annual celebrations took place in Bristol. (We celebrated in Coventry in 2019, and have been online-only for the past two years.) One lovely event that happened a few times in Bristol was the Flash Walk in which anyone interested could join a walk around Bristol to hear actors read flashes between 40 and 400 words that were inspired by physical places in Bristol or the theme of Urban Landscape.
While we aren't holding in-person events this year for obvious reasons, there's no reason why we can't hold our own virtual Flash Walk this year.
Write a flash based on a place near you (or one from your hometown if you prefer). If you can, send us a picture that we can publish alongside your flash. (It needs to be your picture, or one that is in the public domain or licensed for us to reuse.)
If you're looking for some inspiration, Judy Darley ran the 2018 Flash Walk and has recorded the stories with some photos on her website, SkyLightRain.
If you’re submitting this to us, make sure to note that this is a response to Prompt 17: Flash Walk.
You can submit responses until 23:59 BST on Sunday, 27 June 2021 for a chance to be published here at The Write-In.
