#FridayFlash “Mother”

posted on June 25th, 2010 in Fiction by Bryce Beattie

Ok. I figured I should occasionally post something around here, so here’s an angry little flash fiction. I had the idea while watching a dirty child run amok at a local hamburger joint. Anyway, next week I’ll be back to “Journey…” Oh, and as the stuff on my blog is usually all ages, I’d better [...]

A New Year’s Revolution – Flash Fiction

posted on January 29th, 2010 in Fiction by Bryce Beattie

Author’s note: Here’s just a little diversion. This could be the opening scene to a novel I’d like to write someday. You don’t get to meet the main protagonist, or even the antagonist, but it should leave you wanting to read more. I hope. If you missed it, I posted a Journey of St. Laurent [...]

posted on September 26th, 2008 in Fiction, Uncategorized by Bryce Beattie

[Author's note: When I'm done editing Oasis, you'll get the rest of this.

They always worked him over worse [...]

[Author's note: OK, here's chapter 3 and all that was written of chapter 4 of the novel a friend of mine and I started 10 or so years ago (links to the first few parts are on my other works page). This is where we stopped. Once again, all grammar errors, typos, and bizarre phrases [...]
