“TAG” is up at The Confabulator Cafe

My latest Confabulator Cafe story is available at http://www.confabulatorcafe.com/2013/07/tag-flash-fiction/

“TAG” is based on the prompt of creating a story around a series of letters. My story involves a series of Post-It notes and police reports, which are essentially letters themselves.

Honestly, writing this story wasn’t much fun for me. The format kept me from losing myself in the writing, because I had to tell the story as much through structure as words. I walked away feeling unsure about the story. I’ve thought about writing longer work in a letter format, which was so common in Victorian Gothic writing with such examples as Dracula, The Beetle, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but in this case, I challenged myself to keep all my prose Post-It-like.

Check it out at The Confabulator Cafe.

Thanks for reading.
