We had our first (and possibly only) snow of the year last night. There was just enough accumulation to cover most surfaces with a layer of snow…and in the morning light, it makes for a pretty sight that our window fairy presides over. For today’s prompt, write a little Flashy Fiction about a first snowfall or a fairy watching over a garden or yard or a mix of both.

Cresting the first peak in the spine of the snow-capped mountains, you can’t believe your eyes. Clearing away the wind-induced tears from your eyes, you gaze in awe at the huge chunk of mountain floating above the highest peak up ahead with a citadel perched upon it. You’d heard of it, of course, but not truly believed it until now. Write a little Flashy Fiction the explains why your protagonist found her way here and what her plans are when she gets to the floating rock. Is she just going to investigate or does she have some sort of business at the citadel? Do they welcome visitors or will she have to find some means of getting up there unnoticed? What will she find if and when she does?

A forest full of snow-capped Christmas trees glowing warmly in the night. But, how so? Write a little Flashy Fiction that tells the story of the person who goes through the trouble to run power to all these trees and then string them up with lights and decorates them. What’s their motivation and how can they afford the time and expense of it? Maybe there’s no electricity involved at all. Maybe it’s a trick of magic. Maybe the fae have a reason for lighting up these trees on a snowy eve. Based in science or magic (or a bit of both), have fun developing your how and why of the mystery of the Forest of Christmas Trees.

“
Do you want to build a snowman?” A tad cliche since Frozen took the world by storm, but it’s a true-to-life question for kids and adults when get that joyous day off from school for a snow day. Other activities include sledding, snow ball fights, building snow forts, and making snow cream. With much of the northeast and mid-Atlantic of the US covered in snow, write a little Flashy Fiction where a day off from work or snow is a large part of the story.
