Scrolls Special: A Little Bit Of Flash

In Geek To Geek Issue 5 the Scrolls team contributed a little segment on Flash Fiction, defining it and discussing the attraction of this growing form story-telling.It will surprise none of our regular listeners when I tell you that the conversation went on for an awful lot longer than the 18 minutes previously released.  Here,for the first time, you can hear the full discussion (clocking in at just under an hour and a half.)  Furthermore, for your listening pleasure, we present recordings ofno less that ten Flash pieces scattered throughout the episode. There is some bad language used by the team and there are elements of horror in several of these Flash pieces, varying from the visceral to the psychological. Whilst we do not always think to put a Parental Advisory warning on our podcasts, you should think twice before playing this episode in the hearing of children. I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contributing authors here in the order in which their stories appear: Rebecca Bohn - 'One Night' - a tale of mythic wonder - read by Dion Winton-Polak Lily Childs - 'A Stitch In Spine' - an erotically charged delight - read by Lily Childs Absolutely*Kate Pilarcik - 'Stop This Merry Go Round, I Want To Get Off!' - a natty, nuanced noir - read by Brenda Kirk Anthony Cowin - 'Corridors Of Meat' - a visceral fight for survival - read by Phil Ambler R.R.
