My poor, neglected CrimeSpace...

I feel just terrible. If you were my children, the DCFS would have hauled you all away by now, and with good reason.

Busy week.

So, kicking off the week in style, Dan O'Shea's flash fiction challenge hit the interwebs like a shotgun full of rock salt. The challenge was to write a flash-fiction that took place in some sort of place of worship. All comers brought all kinds of evil, and you can check out the whole God-damned rundown right here.

Your two flashers were intriguing and were what got me interested in Flash Fiction Offensive. From there, I found great writing. I couldn't help but try my hand at it.

Thanks for kind words about "Purgatory" too!

At 1:44pm on May 22, 2009, Benjamin Sobieck said…: This lazy bastard has taken digs up at FFO. Check it out! It's called "Purgatory at the Pump 'n' Loaf."

At 2:12pm on May 11, 2009, Benjamin Sobieck said…: The first submission is away to Flash Front Offensive. Thanks again for the tips. If nothing else, I found a great place online to read fiction. Good writing to you!

At 2:55pm on May 3, 2009, Benjamin Sobieck said…: Thanks for the advice, Jimmy. I liked the two flashers you posted the other day. They were fast and to the point. This is a genre I could get into.

At 1:01pm on July 17, 2008, A. N. Smith said…: Yeah, and seeing it "Will Ferrellized" changes the whole context. Awesome.

Congrats on joining the PWG alumni -- I's going to submit something new to Neil soon, just cranking out the revision for my second.

CHARLEY VARRICK is an under-rated gem, thanks for doing the homage to it bro
