What is Flash Fiction? Flash Fiction is a work of fiction of extreme brevity. This book is a funny, entertaining, imaginative compilation of my flash fiction with a mix of science fiction and commentary. It is a look at the world through the eyes of the author with a unique world view that is offbeat and provocative through an unusual perspective. Many of these stories and essays were written during the Covid-19 pandemic, as were the stories in my first publication: Flash Fiction. The pandemic is still with us, but we do have vaccines and booster shots. Maybe the end is in sight. I hope so. While not all of these stories are pandemic stories, many are. I am not sure how one writes stories at this time and does not write about it. I know I can't. Still, many of my stories are about other things. Some funny, some science fiction, some fantasy, and some fiction. I hope that these stories entertain you and let you think about other things besides the pandemic. Things like living one's life through this pandemic. One day it will be over, and we can all say we lived through it. If you have enjoyed these stories in this Flash Fiction II book, please consider reading my first book: Flash Fiction. I am currently working on a CIA spy novelette: Dead Drop. I hope it will be finished later this year.

If you like your fiction entwined with fact (faction), this second collection of "flash fiction" (less than 250 words per story) is for you! Some of the stories featured here were award-winning entries in the weekly Flash Fiction Challenges sponsored by the Website Indies Unlimited. Other tales were inspired by or drawn from the short stories found in Cohen's The Road Less Taken: A Collection of Unusual Short Stories, Books 1 and 2, or from some of his mystery/thrillers. Even more were inspired by interesting or unusual photographs found on the Internet. In Creative Ink, Flashy Fiction, Flash Fiction Anthology - Book 2, you'll find a tale about World War II that may make you wonder whether or not what you are reading is fiction; the lowdown on the first selfie ever taken; an intellectual conversation at the shore between a dog and an elephant while they observe a formation of Canadian geese; and a story about a tarot card reading that comes to a troubling conclusion. In short (pun intended), there is something in this book for almost every genre and taste.
