Christmas seems to come earlier each
year and then sweeps in at the last minute like a velveteen cloak smelling of cinnamon,
roast potatoes and … pine toilet cleaner. I’m not prepared for the Christmas
decoration aisle in August, and I don’t like pine toilet cleaner.
To get me feeling more Christmas Elf
than Grinch, I penned two flash fiction pieces for Friday Flash Fiction’s Christmas
competition who this year, insisted we include the terms ‘peace’ and ‘goodwill’
in our stories.
So, I hope you enjoy my small
scribblings of Mirror Mirror and The Elf Effect, and although I wasn’t picked
to win the prize of $50, I had fun writing them. By the way, no mirrors or partridges
were hurt in the writing of these whimsical yarns.
Merry Christmas, and hope you have one
free of pine toilet cleaner.
