Mini-stories: Catfish, Neck

I really needed to do a writing focus exercise, so I thought I would set myself the task of writing very small stories of no more than one page in my word processing document, using prompts from an old post in this journal in which I asked you kind readers for prompts.

I wrote two of them today. I didn't allow myself to be too critical, which is always my downfall, and I just wrote about the first subject that came to mind when I considered the prompt. I also didn't edit, since these are just exercises.

Title: Catfish (prompt suggested by chypie)
Universe: Goldenhour
Character: Bernard (mentions of Bevan)

( He leans into the water, immersing his head. )

Title: Neck (prompt suggested by luckykitty)
Universe: Goldenhour
Character: Chester

( Was it a dream that woke him? )
