Five Sentence Fiction – Abandon

/1 Comment/in /by

I hadn’t meant to come back… or forward, I should say… but time, like so many things, is beyond our control.

In a flash I was taken from the present and dropped into a house identical to ours, but a century old, broken and condemned.

A time warp, a worm hole, maybe —  but my wife is long gone, my children probably thought I abandoned them, and my grandchildren — they never knew my face.

I lost a lifetime, and now I’m facing a lifetime without them.

Hi Everyone!

I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. I took a little hiatus from blogging. But I’m back now, and I’ve definitely been busy during this time away.

My first novel, No Exit, is about to be published on March 17th! With my new site, you’ll still see my blog posts in your reader, but I now have a newsletter, if you’d like to join. And as a bonus for signing up for the newsletter, you’ll receive a FREE download of a short story prequel to No Exit.

I’m also giving away a few ARC copies of my novel in exchange for writing a review on launch day, so if you’re interested, go to the contact page on my website and send me a message: https://christinakrieger.com/about/contact/

Thanks for reading!

Five Sentence Fiction – Fresh

Here we go… nothing I can’t handle… just a girl in a new town, with a new name and a new life.

I’ve been on the run for the better part of a year now, but somehow, no matter how many times I start over, those blasted wolf hunters always manage to track me down.

I had hoped this fresh start would be the one, the time when I could finally stop looking over my shoulder.

But you know what, I’m not backing down this time.

We’ll see what they think when the next full moon comes around.
