Beneath My Feet: A Collected Work Of Flash Fiction

By Richard Norway

This book contains eight works of Flash Fiction by Richard Norway. Flash Fiction is difficult to write as the writer has to develop his story, characters, plot, beginning, middle and end in all under 1,000 words. Most of the works of Flash Fiction contained in this book are therefore limited to one or two scenes for the story to take place, but you will understand the plot and who the characters are.
Some of these works will contain dark realism facing gay youth today and others facing gay older men. Others will make you laugh at the marvelous everyday situations young people get themselves into.

About The Author

As I opened the door, I was assaulted with a stench of stale beer and the pungency of ancient cigarette smoke whose parents had long since been extinguished. It was so thick I could taste it. My eyes strained to see through the haze and darkness, and as I entered, the flats of a honky-tonk piano could be heard to my left. Why, after all these years of silence, had my brother wanted to meet here? Slowly, my mind registered human bodies in disjointed union moving to and fro to the sounds of the piano and the voice of
