Posted on by Siobhan Muir
#ThursThreads Year 12 Banner

Week 624 of #ThursThreads, 12th Anniversary was a sweet reminder of just how amazing y’all are. Can you believe we’ve been doing this for over a decade? Boggles the mind. Thank you to everyone who writes each week. You are why we’re still doing this. If you’ve just found us, welcome to the crew! May you come back again and write more great flash. A thousand thanks to Silver James for judging this week. Follow Siobhan Muir on Bluesky or check out the #ThursThreads #flashfiction group on Facebook or the #ThursThreads Group on MeWe to keep up with news, etc. Silver says: TWELVE YEARS! Wow. Happy Anniversary, Threaders! I’m honored that Siobhan asked me to judge this anniversary version of Thursday Threads. First, congrats to all who participated this week, and who have throughout the years. I’m always thrilled by the amount of talent in this group. Now, for today’s winners. My instructions are to choose a Winner and two Honorable Mentions and I’m supposed to award them “Best of Genre.” Thing is, you’d think we were coming up on Halloween or something. Almost all of the tales had a sprinkle of paranormal/horror/supernatural elements. So, instead of genre, here’s some made-up Best of awards… Here we go… *pretend drumroll*  Entries: Bill Engleson  Eric Martell Kelly Heinen Sheilagh Lee Louisa Bacio  Miranda Gammella David A. Ludwig  Siobhan Muir  Daniel Swensen Honorable Mention: Best Tale with Scared Goats Bill Engleson | Website Silver says: Not so horrific horror or maybe a dash of paranormal or supernatural because ghosts and/or aliens. I get where the goats are coming from and I’m with them! Well written and well done, Bill. Honorable Mention: Best Tale with Shotgun Totin’ Rednecks Daniel Swensen | Website Silver says: I would read this book, if it was one. I both laughed and commiserated with the two protagonists. Happy huntin’, fellas! winner announcement Week 624 Winner Eric Martell Silver says: Best Tale with a Literary Spin on Relationships goes to Eric Martell. Wow. That was a wonderful and tightly written bit of relationship confessional. I felt for your narrator, Eric. Plus, the twist at the end? Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming and it ended this tale perfectly. “Shock Loading” In theatre, when a piece of scenery comes loose so that it falls freely until being suddenly stopped by a cable, we say that the system has been shock-loaded. Shock-loading isn’t supposed to happen, of course, but sometimes the things we want to happen the least do anyway. A good operator will replace each part of a system that’s been shock-loaded because visual inspection cannot tell whether some element has suffered microscopic fractures during the intense and rapid deformation and reformation of the shock load, so that the next time, the element might not deform, it might break. After the affair, I tried to keep the damage I did to our relationship to the ordinary kind. The kind that can be repaired with communication and listening and atonement. Forget to change the laundry. Burn the steaks on the grill. Get drunk during our daughter’s ballet recital. I made that last one up to her by getting sober and staying that way for six months. I did the laundry. Cooked dinner. Kept my job. Avoided the shock loads. One of the things they learned that causes chronic traumatic encephalopathy, otherwise known as CTE, in football players, is the damage done by repeated sub-concussive hits. It’s not always the big blow that does the unfixable damage. It’s the damage from the smaller ones, hidden, waiting. If you’d have asked me what the last straw would have been, I’d never have guessed the way I folded towels. But I heard the system break.~~~~~~~ Congratulations THIRTY-ONE TIME WINNER Eric, and Honorable Mentions Bill and Daniel! Don’t forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it! Please contact Siobhan Muir at muir.siobhan@gmail.com for your giftcard of choice.

#ThursThreads – Week 616 – Winners

Tying Tales Together, #ThursThreads Year 11 Got a tale to tie on?

Week 616 of #ThursThreads was a success, and y’all never disappoint. Thank you to everyone who writes each week. You are why we’re still doing this. If you’ve just found us, welcome to the crew! May you come back again and write more great flash. A thousand thanks to George Varhalmi for judging this week. Follow Siobhan Muir on Bluesky or check out the #ThursThreads #flashfiction group on Facebook or the #ThursThreads Group on MeWe to keep up with news, etc. Entries: Bill Engleson  Kelly Heinen Sheilagh Lee Silver James Eric Martell David A. Ludwig  Siobhan Muir  Miranda Gammella Mark Ethridge  George says: There were four incredible stories. Each one portrayed a different complex emotion. The separating quality came down to the activity level of the writing. In two there was active interaction that drove the story whereas the other two focused more on headspace contemplation. All of the following tales were incredibly good and I enjoyed each one immensely. Thank you, Siobhan, for letting me be your judge this week. Honorable Mentions Mark Ethridge | Website George says: Mark’s story came in as an extremely close second for the winner. It is my first honorable mention for the powerful interaction between Sunshine and a machine. The building fury is palpable. “Hell hath no fury” is going to take on a whole new meaning in the coming future not for being scorned but for pure outrage. I felt her anger in her interaction and the tale ended exactly where it needed to be for the challenge. What an excellent tale, Mark, thank you for writing it. David A. Ludwig | Website George says: Fanboy geekdom at its finest. This was a great tale, David, it made me laugh. I loved it. The interaction between Jian and the protagonist is sweet and one I enjoyed. The headspace conversation at the beginning of the tale was good but it felt like a backstory entry into the tale which shortened the interaction which was the true gem of the tale. I look forward to seeing where that interaction could go. It was a funny, geeky tale of two souls meeting in an accidental way. Thank you, David, for sharing your tale. Miranda Gammella | Website George says: Oh my god, I would be in the same shape should my loved one return from the dead. Trying to grasp what on earth is happening, how, and all of the other chaotic thoughts. This was an excellent piece from the internal view of the protagonist trying to understand what is happening in his headspace. What I would love to see (and maybe it’s in a future tale for someone else to read) is how her conversation went with her doctor (who was struggling as much as the main protagonist on what is going on). That’s an interaction I’d love for her to have and how it goes. Miranda this was a great tale and thank you for letting me read it. winner announcement Week 616 Winner Silver James George says: This was a challenging decision between a story with compassion versus a growing furor about to unleash. Silver’s story came out on top for its compassion. The active interaction between Declan and Maggie was powerful yet filled with fiery compassion. Something went drastically wrong for Maggie that day, Declan knew it and could see. In this tale, he put down the swagger (of previous tales I have read) to bring in the humanity of the situation. This was a great tale, Silver, and an enjoyable read. Maggie glanced at her watch feeling rumpled and out of sorts. Declan sat across the room in his tailored slacks and starched shirt looking like he’d stepped out of a magazine. Her purple scrubs held a stains that could be any number of body fluids. She’d dealt with them all during her shift. Why had she knocked on his door instead of her own place next door? “Why are you here, Maggie?” His voice was warm and soft like a caress. She knew the answer but couldn’t bring herself to admit it. “Because I didn’t want to be alone.” The words were out and she couldn’t call them back. So okay, maybe she could admit to her loneliness—which hadn’t been a problem until she met this enigmatic man. “Then you can stay.” A wicked gleam lit his eyes. “I wouldn’t want to intrude on your hospitality.” Declan burst out laughing. “If this is a hint of your bedside manner, remind me to stay out of your hospital.” “Fine. You don’t want my company—” She marched toward the front hallway but he snagged her arm before she got even halfway across the room. “Ease down, Maggie. You’ve had a hard day. I can see it in your eyes. Still, it’s good to know your temper lurks there under the sadness. Come. Sit down. I’ll get you some wine and you can tell me about your day.” “I’d rather have a beer.” “A girl after m’own heart then. Good to know.”~~~~~~~ Congratulations SIXTY-SEVEN TIME WINNER Silver, and Honorable Mentions David, Miranda! Don’t forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it!

#ThursThreads – Week 600 – Winners

Posted on by Siobhan Muir
Tying Tales Together, #ThursThreads Year 11 Got a tale to tie on?

Wow. Six Hundred Weeks of writing flash fiction. I’m blown away! Well done and thank you to everyone who wrote this week and writes each week. You made this happen. May you come back again and write more great flash. A thousand thanks to George Varhalmi for judging this week. Check out the #ThursThreads #flashfiction group on Facebook or the #ThursThreads Group on MeWe to keep up with news, etc. Entries: Bill Engleson  Melissa Bennett Sheilagh Lee  Nellie Batz  Alex Minns Siobhan Muir  David A. Ludwig  Eric Martell Kelly Heinen Katheryn J. Avila M.T. Decker  Louisa Bacio  George says: First off, this was a really hard challenge to meet there, Siobhan, but truly worthy of a week 600 challenge. Having to pick five winners for specific categories was difficult but a lot of fun in the end. Thank you for letting me have the honor of the challenge. In short there were a lot of great stories and many categories came down to a toss-up.  Honorable Mention Katheryn J. Avila | Website George says: It was a sad but sweet tale of a love lost. Filled with strong emotion it was poignant of how their relationship drifted apart. A lost romance that it feels like neither individual really knew how to salvage. Very good story.  Best Suspense Tale Bill Engleson | Website George says: This was a great suspense tale ending with urgency. It started off slow that escalated quickly making it a thrilling piece of suspense. Nicely done. Now the rush is on if Danny can get to June in time. Best LGBTQ+ Tale Siobhan Muir | Website George says: While technically ineligible as the host of the blog. As the sole LGBTQIA+ tale, I felt it still needed to be called out and acknowledged. It was an excellent piece with added suspense. Well written and what a great ending. Most Romantic Tale M.T. Decker | Website George says: While it is a great piece of science fiction I found it to be more on the romantic side. Great setup. Even in an alien society, the world may not be ready for the love they share. It was poignant and heartfelt. Best Sci-Fi Tale David A. Ludwig | Website George says: While the focus may have been on Gemini through the eyes of Helen, she let her skills or multiples step in during a time of urgency, maybe breaking out her secret unintentionally. What a great ending and tale. Curious to see where it goes. winner announcement Week 600 Winner Kelly Heinen George says: This was an awesome tale and the overall winner this week. Dad’s having a little difficulty with retirement and passing the reins to the next version of Death. His office, that is so funny, is not what it used to be so how to up the ante, focus on a non-existent heir and create doubt. That was insidious. Framed photos of my family line the stone walls of my office. It is worth noting that photography will not be invented for another twenty years. My family have always been ahead of the times. “You’ve moved all my stuff.” My father settles into the wooden chair that sits in front of my desk. The red cushion disappears under his black robes, as he crosses one leg over the other, steepling his fingers. Realizing that I am sitting the same way, I adjust my position. “You did ordain me as The One True Death and move into your retirement. Thus, it was natural for me to rearrange the office to my liking.” “How was your first week on the job?” “Challenging, as expected. It is not easy approving people to die. However, my Time Keepers and Deathers have done a great job selecting the hour glasses and crossing people over.” Father glances around the cavern-like room, my framed photos insufficient to mask the thrummingsilence. Father and I have always been close, but suddenly, we feel distant. “How do you plan to proceed over the next two hundred years?” I had not given it much thought and say as much. Father stands, his chair grating on the stones, and I flinch. “Thus far, you lack an heir, and in two hundred years, that will be a problem.” The door slams behind him, making me think two hundred years will go by quicker than I would prefer.~~~~~~~ Congratulations TWENTY TIME WINNER Kelly, Honorable Mention Katheryn, and Genre Winners Bill, Mary, and David! Don’t forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it! Pass on the great news on Facebook, MeWe, Bluesky, Mastodon, shiny mirrors, Morse Code, and signal flags.

#ThursThreads – Week 364 7th Anniversary – Winners

Posted on by Siobhan Muir

Week 364 of #ThursThreads had many fantastic tales. I’m honored to see all the writers come to tie a tale as we start our eighth year. If you’ve been doing it a while, thank you. If you’ve just found us, welcome! May you come back again and write more great flash. Thousand thanks to Eric Martell for judging this week. Check out the #ThursThreads #flashfiction group on Facebook or the #ThursThreads Group on MeWe to keep up with news, etc. Entries: Mason Bushell | @MBWorkhouse Bill Engleson | @billmelaterplea Siobhan Muir | @SiobhanMuir Cara Michaels | @caramichaels Tari Jewett | @TariLynnJewett Silver James | @SilverJames_ Jo Hawk Sheilagh Lee | @SweetSheil Catherine Derham | @Cate_Derham Atticus Stryker | @TAFORU Daelyn Morgana | @DaelynMorgana David A. Ludwig | @DavidALudwig Teresa Eccles | @TeresaMEccles Kel J. Heinen | @Aightball M.T. Decker | @mishmhem Honorable Mentions Atticus Stryker | @TAFORU Eric says: An oblique reference to a current political situation wrapped in a short spy thriller. I wonder if there’s a 2019 version of Deep Throat out there. Catherine Derham | @Cate_Derham Eric says: Independence Day – what a day to be independent of rules! Oh, but the consequences… Jo Hawk Eric says: Writing matters, for all of us. winner announcement 7th Anniversary, Week 364 Winner Daelyn Morgana | @DaelynMorgana Eric says: A wonderful interaction between her author and her characters. Oh, the things we do to people. I tapped my nails against the keyboard with a deep frown, muttering profanities and tangents under my breath. “Why’d you stop? You were writing, I saw you writing.” “Because I’m stuck.” I snorted, glaring upwards. “You’re in my head. How the hell do you see me writing?” “The same way I hear anything you hear, duh.” I rolled my eyes. “Smartass.” “Oh just keep writing, Morgana. I’d like to get out of that hideous box you just shoved me in, and that’s only going to happen if you keep writing.” Kailyn shivered, an action that slithered down my own spine. It was a pretty evil, diabolically smart predicament Ciara created against her. “Technically I didn’t put you there, that was-” “I don’t give a flying fuck about technicalities! Just write me out of it!” I sat for a moment, pondering. “Nahh. Not yet. That’d be no fun.” Kailyn growled. Even when she resided only in my head and on the pages before me I could feel her murderous glare. Good thing she can’t actually curse me. “Fake witch,” she mutters with a hiss under her breath. Naturally, I heard that and glared at my forehead again. “Disney witch!” She barked out a sharp laugh but I knew how much she hated the return insult. “Like Disney would ever pick up a story as dark as mine. Now write. Or I’ll haunt your every waking and non-waking moment.” “You already do that,” I muttered, but returned to tapping out sentences.~~~~~~~ Congratulations Five Time Winner Daelyn, and Honorable Mentions Atticus, Catherine, and Jo! Don’t forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it! Pass on the great news on Twitter, Facebook, MeWe, shiny mirrors, Morse Code, and signal flags. Check out all the original tales HERE. Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! 🙂 As a special addition since I’ve been hosting this challenge for a long time now, I’ve seen a lot of you grow in your writing (me too, frankly). There are some prizes left over and I wanted to award them to some of the fantastic writers I’ve met along this path. There were a couple of tales that really hit me in the feels and I’m giving the last prizes to those folks because y’all really know how to reach this woman’s heart. Siobhan’s Picks Silver James | @SilverJames_ This story wasn’t what I expected. The badass Wolf shifter who didn’t do gentle and the woman weeping on the street made me think it would be about power and dominance. But the ending of simply offering his hand and a hello really grabbed my heart with the sweetness. It was perfect and I loved it. M.T. Decker | @mishmhem LOL this made me laugh so hard. I could feel the cop’s frustration and building annoyance at the witness-who-wasn’t. And that last line of “Photographic memory. Every cop has it.” Damn near made me spit my coffee across the keyboard. Thank you very much for the laugh. David A. Ludwig | @DavidALudwig Being a parent is tough. You want the kids to learn the rules and make things easier for them, but you don’t want to repeat your parents’ mistakes or stifle the creative energy that resides in your kids. I totally understood the bewilderment of Vedania at the end. Does she tell the kid to quit doodling or does she let that creativity blossom in hopes it will help her kid learn? Tough call and one I know well. To all the winners: Please contact Siobhan to let her know which prize you would like and to make arrangements to get it to you.
