Fiction: Under the Pump

November 18th, 2011 Comments off

UPDATE! All of these stories are now available in a new e-book which also includes detailed commentary on each story, covering how I came up with the idea and how I then structured the story.  It’s a great guide for aspiring writers.

The book is called A Torrent of Story, or How I wrote an original short story every day for a month, and how you can too. It’s available at a very modest price either from my website  or from the Amazon Kindle Store .


This is my contribution for Day 17 of the G+ Flash Fiction Project event organized by Becky Raymond which challenges writers to write a short piece of fiction each day during November 2011, based on a stimulus photograph or image.  

Today’s image was provided by Eoghann Irving.

Today’s image is a speed-painting by the highly-talented Cliff Roth and it’s a portrait of the handsome Jared Jackson, also known as Jayomega. Please note that of course the recording artist character in my story is purely fictional and bears no relation whatsoever to the real Mr Jackson, though I hope he has similar success in his music career!
