In the Spring 2008 semester at the University of Maine, Professor Alex Irvine held an advanced creative writing seminar. Based off of Alex's idea, we decided to create a Web site with both text and audio versions of our "flash" stories.
A flash is a story written in under five hundred (500) words. You have to have a beginning, middle, and end just like any other story. It is a good way to get some writing done.
Without further ado, here are our flash stories from this past semester (in no particular order):
Andrew Maxcy - Neck Romantic (PDF) (Audio)
Jesse Priest - Asymmetry (Audio)
Isaac Forbes - Untitled (Audio)
Kara Cox - To Leap (PDF) (Audio)
Mariah Cunningham - Go (PDF) (Audio)
Sarah Doucette - Untitled (PDF) (Audio)
Ryan Woodward - Untitled (PDF) (Audio)
Amanda Johnston - The Reluctance to Sleep (PDF) (Audio)
Rachel Holden - Saturday Night (PDF) (Audio)
Alyssa Franzosa - Saving the World From Johnnies (PDF) (Audio)
Patrick Stanton - Untitled (PDF) (Audio)
Paul Goodman - Untitled (PDF) (Audio)
Elizabeth Burleson - Walk the Line (PDF) (Audio)
Tim Lounder - We Are The Last To Die For Our Mistakes (PDF) (Audio)
Ben Goodridge - The Man (PDF)
Brian Chick - Brain Dead (PDF) (Audio)
Eric Carlsen - Untitled (PDF)
Rick Gower - Untitled (PDF)
Many thanks go out to Professor Alex Irvine for his work this semester; to Paul Goodman, for being so gracious to help the class with Audacity and recording our stories; to Tim Lounder for putting together this Web site; and to everyone in the writing seminar for participating in this experiment.
