Weekend Fiction Stories for 8/24-8/26 2012

Rate: 5 Flag
 
 
This is the place to read Fiction Weekend stories for this Friday/Saturday/Sunday - and to announce your own piece! 

Stories will be posted throughout the weekend, so feel free to check back regularly for new pieces to read.

If you're participating, announce your piece with its title and a brief description in the Comments section of this post.

This week's prompt was:
 
 
Write a story about someone who doesn't want to retire. 
 
 
Or, if that didn't inspire you, you could write a fiction piece on any topic, in any style you want.

Everyone is welcome to join in - if you feel inspired, go for it! 

The only requirement is that a piece announced in the comments be a fiction piece.  

If you're not sure what qualifies as "fiction" in terms of the Fiction Club, please read this.   

For information about how to announce a story, etc, please see our "Bio" in the left margin of this page.

You have all weekend to write your story and announce it in the comments section below.

Happy writing and reading!

What happens if you REALLY don't want to retire,but they throw a party anyway. I hope you enjoy the darkly funny doings at "Mabel May's Retirement Party."
The Unexpected Planet is my short story for this week. It's sci-fi, about 5700 words, and follows the prompt. It's taken twenty years for the crew and colonists of Zeus to reach Proxima, and in another year they will reach the end of their voyage: for Captain King, it is less the beginning of a new home and the end of a career.
"Vitorrio Twig" is my offering which in a sense loosely follows this week's prompt.

It's good to be back and hopefully I can keep up with you artists. :)
"Making Do With Less Cheese" Short and sweet as usual. I wish I was edgy. Oh well. Comments and critiques appreciated.
Hi everyone. This week's story is One Night in Mississippi, which is another story inspired by Robert Johnson. Hope you enjoy it.
I'm in - Lucy's Coffee Pot. Sometimes, it's just time to move on.
