JA Rock and I have stated a flash fiction group for anyone who is interested. We'll be posting a shared prompt at least every month, and hopefully get some fun and crazy-different responses. If you're into writing flash fiction, or just want a smile, come along and join in. You can find it here: Flash Fiction Addiction.
Here's our first every picture prompt, and my story underneath. Enjoy!
Whoops
“Are you sure?” Peter
growled, his canary yellow pants a million times sunnier than his current
disposition.
“Dude, at least you
got the hat.” Max said. “What the hell
is up with this shirt? Do I tuck it in or not?”
“You’re just jealous
because you couldn’t grow a moustache,” Alan said.
Max snorted. “Your
moustaches are ridiculous.”
“Epic,” Alan muttered,
smoothing out a crease on his high-fastening blue pants. “They’re epic.”
“All right,” the
general said. “Settle down, please. Let’s not forget you’re scientists and you have
a serious mission out there. I don’t need to remind you that time travel is
inherently dangerous, and that’s without the risk of discovery. Good luck, and
stay safe.”
Peter held up his
hand. “Wait. I just want to double check. These
clothes, really?”
The general glanced at
the technician. She nodded rapidly. “We take our research very seriously!”
“Fine.” Peter sighed,
and led the others into the module.
“Well,” said the
general. “Back they go, all the way to 1973.” He blinked at the display. “What
does B.C. mean?”
The technician shrugged.
“No idea, sir.”
She turned the dial,
and the module disappeared in a flash of light and smoke.

I really want to read the adventures of these guys in 1973 BC.
