Well done to all the winners of The Carrot Ranch Sound and Fury Flash competition.
I’m so pleased to hear that my lovely friend Ritu won third prize.
Here’s the link to the winning entries.

Here’s my entry – I didn’t win… I got the fury but forgot the sound effects! Lol.
How’s your day been?’
‘Exhausting, but exhilarating. I saved a young man’s life today. And you?’
‘Boring, I hate being a butcher.’
‘Your meat’s the best!’
My identical twin sister is an eminent brain surgeon. I dream of her delicate hands working their masterful magic.
I raised the scalpel in a fury of sibling rivalry. My eyes twitched, but no one questioned my power to play God or to ruin my sister’s reputation as a top surgeon. My hands shook, until I sliced. I smiled, she’d be so proud. Blood pounded in my head as bright, red blood spurted.
I’m a sponsor of Carrot Ranch – a wonderful community of flash fiction writers.

Do you enjoy writing flash too?
Bye for now,
I’m a contributing author in the Plaisted Publishing House Ghostly Writes Anthology 2018 with my short story Ghostly Goodbye.
Ghostly Goodbye by M J Mallon
Ghostly Goodbye is a paranormal love story about a young woman called Iris who can’t get over her husband’s death. She is mourning him so much that she feels dead inside. Her husband Ed sends her a ghostly message from beyond the grave via an old forgotten garment in her wardrobe. She responds by dragging herself from her tomb-like bed and he draws back the curtain of death to visit her in a most unusual way.

Wow, Marje, yours is quite something.
Lots of fury in your story, Marje! Daring writing and dark. I’m kind of glad there weren’t any sound effects! Ha ha. Great job. 🙂
Thank you Diana. Glad you found it sufficiently dark without the sound effects!
I sense a little sibling rivalry there. Enjoyed this!
Thank you Jacquie. It’s fun playing about and being a bit wicked with flash!
Reblogged this on Loleta Abi.
What a comparison, Marje! Twin cuts. Very clever. Thank you for participating in the Rodeo and sharing the results!
Glad to be able to do do
Charli. 🙂
