Behold the boundless sky, an expanse with limitless possibilities. Let its beauty inspire greatness and fuel your dreams. The ingenuity that launched a craft into orbit demonstrates human potential. The same visionary spirit that birthed the moon two centuries ago has now birthed a celestial subway system to the stars, providing a thriving colony for tens of thousands of diligent individuals.

The aperture symbolizes resilience and offers a glimpse of the infinite universe. Embrace the yearning for exploration and envision a future among the stars. The void within us is a gateway to endless possibilities.

The moon thrives as a hub of activity, offering affordable adventures and cherished memories. A Texan artist's vision connects with others' aspirations to leave a mark on the cosmos.

Humanity's spirit of exploration persists, pushing boundaries and defying limitations. The unknown becomes a sanctuary for reflection and a reminder of our potential.

Witness the bustling station and trains filled with eager passengers embarking on journeys to the colony's farthest corners. It showcases humanity's unwavering thirst for adventure.

Embrace the awe-inspiring beauty around us. From a humble beginning, our journey leads us to growth and discovery. The hole beckons us to explore our true potential and unleash our inner strength.

Amidst an ever-changing world, the aperture remains a potent symbol of this place's resilience and unwavering determination. Behold the wonder of the rift in our world's ceiling, offering us a fleeting glimpse into the celestial marvels crafted eons ago, far beyond the confines of our earthly abode.

Venture into the vast expanse of the universe and seize the future with unwavering conviction, for the potential for greatness knows no bounds. Envision the limitless horizons that beckon us beyond the stars. Our courage to explore the unknown leads us to a future of wonder and discovery.

A tempting journey of exploration, but as Dorothy found out, there's no place like home.

    Longer Friday Flash Fiction Stories

    Friday Flash Fiction is primarily a site for stories of 100 words or fewer, and our authors are expected to take on that challenge if they possibly can. Most stories of under 150 words can be trimmed and we do not accept submissions of 101-150 words.


    However, in response to demand, the FFF team constructed this forum for significantly longer stories of 151-500 words. Please send submissions for these using the Submissions Page.

    Stories to the 500 word thread will be posted as soon as we can mange.

    One little further note. Posting and publishing 500-word stories takes a little time if they need to be formatted, too.
    ​Please note that we tend to post longer flash fiction exactly as we find it – wrong spacing, everything.
