Instructions
Flash Fiction Month is about writing one piece of very short "flash" fiction (55-1000 words) every day of July.
Paste a link to your flash fiction piece for July 24th in the comments below.
Every day, there will be a new deviation where you can post a link to your piece of flash fiction for the day.
From time to time, we'll ramp it up a gear and ask you to try your hand at a challenge. It's your choice whether you do the challenge, bu



Challenge #11: Take a Bow(ie)

Element ONE: DAVID BOWIE DAY!!!!!!:- It's the day you've all been waiting for, the day that makes all the other dull old FFM challenges worthwhile!  Yes! It's the day when you need to write a story based on the musical or videographic output of David Robert Jones.  Further links to goose your earthling muses are available in the prompts section below.

Element TWO: LADY STARDUST:- Your story should feature either a cross-dressing, transgender or androgynous character, or a character who subverts gender norms by playing with the reader's perception of their gender.

Element THREE: C'MON, WE'VE REALLY GOT A GOOD THING GOING:- Your story should have a hook at the start. So it needs to have something intriguing or unexpected at the start to make the reader keep reading (like that's going to be necessary, it's a Bowie inspired story, FFS)

Element FOUR: WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES GONE:- Your story needs to have a sting in the tail.  It needs to have a Plot twist at the end.


So, so bad. I want FFM to be over. I'm no longer interested or excited by this but I promised myself that I was going to attempt all of the challenges.

'As the World Falls Down' by David Bowie. Labyrinth is one of my favourite films.
Plot twist chosen: deus ex machina. Shut up, of course it's a plot twist.
