Under The Sea, by Russll Conover

28/12/2013

What’s this I feel on the side of my neck? I could swear it’s ... gills. Better go for a swim in the ocean to test them out. Wow! So many moving creatures, colorful vegetation, sights I’d never seen. And check out the sun’s light filtering dimly through the roof of the water’s surface. Who knew all I was missing from dry land? And the feeling of swimming without worrying about air? Exhilarating. Call me a believer. I may have found a new underwater home.

Kinda obvious, really...

Fiction only
Stories of 90-100 words only
Don't be nasty or cheat
Include your name and a story title

Please feel free to comment (nicely!) on any stories – writers appreciate it.
Just at the moment, though, we're moderating some of them so there might be a slight delat before they appear.

Since Friday Flash Fiction began in September 2013, 100-word stories have remained its 'beating heart'.

Normally, 100-word stories are scheduled for 07.00 BST (GMT in the winter) on the following Friday. However, where a large number of stories (more than 25) are due to be published on the same day, we publish a second batch around 10.30am. On the rare occasions where there are more than 50 stories, we'll post an earlier set, probably around 5.00 UK time.

EDITOR'S CHOICE
Each week, our editor selects a story or (occasionally) a poem as 'Editor's Choice'.

It's a personal favourite, no more. Do you agree?
