F3 – Cycle 70 – Lost In Time

Posted by on March 2, 2012 Leave a comment (20) Go to comments

Haven’t you ever wanted to go back and time to fix something? Or maybe you’d like to relive something, knowing what you know now. Perhaps you’re a visionary and want a peek at the future to see how hover cars will change society or to find out just when the hell are we going to get our jet packs already.

Dust off your flux capacitors and let’s get this baby up to 88 miles per hour! Maybe you’re a spy with new technology and you’re trying to prevent war. Maybe you’re a professor who wants to go native with the ancient Romans. Whenever you decide, use a time machine to get us there.

Prompt: Write a story with a time machine and use these words: Bend, Frequency, Interplex, Spectrum, Phase
Word Count: 1300 or less
Due Date: Wednesday, March 7 at 9:00 pm ET

    Flux capacitors are… fluxing! Cool prompt Flannery!

      Hee! Thanks!

    Oh, I seriously suck at science fiction!  How about some nice erotica?  Lol!

    • Flannery Jenny

      Erotica is timeless…You can find it in any time period. The time machine is just a macguffin. 

      • http://veronicathepajamathief.wordpress.com/ Veronica Marie Lewis-Shaw

        Agreed!  :)

        Someone once said that ‘erotica is the feather… pornography is the whole chicken…”

        I promise… only a feather… maybe two… *wink*

        This is fun!  May be a little light on the science fiction, but I think you will like the story… bringing back one of my favorite characters… one will will also figure prominently in this year’s NaNoWriMo competition.

    I haven’t written any new words in 3 months. Perhaps this is the prompt to break the dry spell, but I might cheat a little. ;)

    • Flannery Jenny

      Oh, do come back! Even if it’s a little bit of a shady return. :-)

      I don’t think ‘they’ are watching too closely, Ron… I went about 35 words over last week and so far, no one has come for me…. wait!  What was that noise!

      (sound of door crashing open… SWAT team pours into the room…)

      No… no… no…. I’ll be good… I promise….

      (dashes into bedroom where the time machine is cycling up..)

      Hehe!

    Hello! This is my very first time participating in Flash Fiction Friday. I have been looking for a way to get back to writing and this is the perfect avenue. I did go over the word count limit though, as I tend to ramble. I promise to get better at this in the future! http://writethere4iam.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/unansweredquestions/

    • Flannery Jenny

      Welcome!

    The site was down last night, else I would have posted my links then.  Here is my story… a little sci-fi/vampyre intrigue.  For my WordPress followers -

      When last night? It shouldn’t have been down.

      • http://veronicathepajamathief.wordpress.com/ Veronica Marie Lewis-Shaw

        From about 8 PST until I turned in around 11.  I thought it might have been a problem on my end, but I was able to get into other sites.  I even tried to get in on my laptop and netbook, but the site wouldn’t come up.

        It was fine this morning.

     Won’t be making it after all. Life full of deadlines, only the important ones can stay afloat. I’ve got a start for an interesting story, though.

  • Ingrid Hardy

    Pleeeeease forgive me, I completely and totally forgot the words we were supposed to use! No excuse except for new responsibilities in my day job which has me forgetting stuff…
