Holiday Flash Fiction Blog Hop
The Gift by J.K. Hogan
Hey all! As most of you know, I don’t really do shorts, but I had a couple of readers suggest that I participate in this link-up for a holiday flash fiction story, so I decided to give it a whirl. Thanks Kimberly and Kelly for the suggestion. So I’ve had an idea of a new book (or series, not sure) bouncing around in my head, and when I looked at this prompt, a scene came to my head. **the novel is not written yet** This scene is all I have so it was written exclusively for this Blog Hop, but I will be expanding it into a novel when I finish my current project.
My scene (sorry, it’s just a weensy bit over the suggested word count!) is the event that leads up to this picture, and the moment pictured here is what *could* happen right after my scene ends. Y’all know I had to tease you a bit! So here were the rules of the prompt:
All stories must be inspired by the photo.
All stories must include in the text:
*A winter holiday theme,
*A “bad boy” character, and
*A gift of some kind (author’s choice).We’re asking that it fit under the umbrella of LGBT Romance, so if you want to write about any two characters on the gender and/or sexuality spectrums, go for it. Anything goes as far as genre too, so scifi, mystery, paranormal, contemporary, etc. is fine, just make sure it’s a romance first and foremost.
That’s it! Below is the picture prompt we were given. Click on either it or the story’s cover to download the pdf!
