It’s scorching outside, so I thought I’d write a flash fiction piece about summer and childhood memories and all those lovely topics that bundle together so well, mixed with a little adult pessimissm. Oh, I’m eighteen now – this is my first blog post that has been written while I’m an adult! Very exciting. But anyway, please enjoy this short flash fiction piece!

History
Today, I’ve got a thoughtful flash fiction piece ready for you. It covers the way that history is taught within education and how that often separates the past from the present, as historical figures become names and dates instead of people. It’s an unreal sort of feeling that is difficult to describe and there’s no one person to lay the blame onto, as I am also unsure of how it could be fixed. In short, much of history as it was taught to me through primary and high school felt strangely distant, as if I was being told about a fictional novel rather than the truth, despite logically knowing that it was truth. In any case, I hope you enjoy this piece!
The True Meaning Of Halloween
As you may or may not know, I’m currently a creative writing intern at FOURALL Magazine, which is really fun and great for my short works productivity. I’m involved with creating creative pieces for the new issues–such as the special Halloween Issue which was released on 28th October. You can find it here! My piece in that issue was ‘The True Meaning Of Halloween’, a short flash fiction exploration of the idea that monsters can roam freely one night a year, pretending to be ordinary people dressed in Halloween costumes. It’s a spooky and fun read! Why not check it out below?
