The Archer - Flash Fiction

Hey all, so here we are once again. This week I've been quite busy and have had little time to write so I thought I would write little. This is called 'flash fiction' if you have not heard of it before. The point in flash fiction is to get as much as possible into as little words as you can manage and I was challenged with writing in eighty words or less. This is based loosely on the novel I am writing so I hope you enjoy it! C.


This was it, here, now, a single arrow remaining. One chance to end the false king’s life, in turn ending the long war that tormented her kingdom.

The battlefield ablaze as the sun caressed armour of the dead and blades of the living.


She saw her comrades far and wide, some still fought in her name. Most were dead.


Her bow raised one last time.


An arrow burst through the pretender’s chest. A blade came down on her.


Silence fell.
