Christmas flash fiction and other short and microfiction stories by Rob Hopcott

I seem to have quite a few Xmas and Christmas short stories and micro fictions around my various sites so I thought it might be a good time to consolidate details of them on one page.

This story starts 'Mirror, mirror on the wall' which is a good and traditional way to start a story. It has a pantomime flavour.

Ultimate Christmas Confession is all about someone who just wants to experience the joy of 'first kiss' again and chooses a Christmas party to realize their desire.

In Whispered Sweet Nothings, the husband blames his infidelity on his wife's Christmas generosity. How good is that?

We all long for that special person to snuggle up with at Christmas time. This fortunate lady had the choice of Three Christmas Lovers.

In Christmas Music Lesson an old storyteller gives up the special storytelling chair at Christmas time to a member of the public and hears a very special story about a child.

I hope you enjoy them.

Bye for now

Ghost story flash fiction, microfiction and short stories by Rob Hopcott

Todays theme is ghost stories which are always a good source of the unusual, the intriguing and the unexpected.

Desirable Haunts is a serialized ghost story about a newly haunting ex tax inspector ghost in search of a new haunt. It might appeal to those who are fascinated by the television programs about property development - or perhaps that is a bit far fetched.

Lost Souls and Tickled Trout is a lovely countryside story about strange goings on in the forests and rivers of the English West Country. A bit creepy and originally written for Halloween.

More strange country goings on, this time with a Christmas musical theme. Tom offers the story telling chair to customers at the old inn.

Just the Job is a story about an out of work executive who has to deliver free papers to earn some money but is distracted on his travels. Oooh, chilling!

Bye for now.

Humor, humorous short stories and flash fiction humour by Rob Hopcott

Today's theme in my endless quest for providing free online flash fiction stories to the universe is humour, or, if you prefer the alternative spelling, humor.

Going to the local Hyper Mall fills me full of humour. My wife says it just makes me go all childish. Read about my adventures with my wife at the local humorous Hyper Mall.

Or perhaps you would like this short flash fiction office story called Living Icon. Wow, am I glad I don't have to deal with office politics any more.

Here's some more on why my wife can't take me anywhere - she says.

I've got lots of funny friends - and they think I'm pretty strange too. Checkout Teeing Off The Doctor.

Here are some random humorous thoughts about artists, authors and dating.


Finally, if you fancy a bit of a light hearted love story, why not try my free online humorous novel or novella Kingfisher Blue. It's the story of how Barry and erstwhile web developer turned barman falls in love with a lovely lady called Jennifer.

Have a great day :-)

Camp fire romances, a young lover, a tent and a camper van.

Today's flash fiction brings together a romantic camp fire, a young lover, a tent, a camper van and powerful memories.

Can young love be revisited?

The camp site has changes out of all recognition, although the smell of the river, woodland trees and flowers remain the same.

Is the woman who joined him as he leaned on the rusty gate the person who listened to the music from the bands and shared his tent on that romantic night? We are not sure. Perhaps it doesn't matter. What is important are the memories and the feeling that something has been lost but might, just possibly, be rediscovered.

UK Author David Gardiner's fine short story collection

I just came across a very fine short story collection by a guy called David Gardiner.

Here is his short story collection.

If his book is as good as his short stories, it should be a good read.
