It’s the last Friday of February.
Let’s end it with a bang. 😀
I’ve written a flash fiction from the image below, which was chosen by one of my FFF comrades. Exactly 100 words, no more, no less.
This week’s flash tale features a creature, both beautiful and deadly, from The Dragon Queen Series.

Flash Fiction Friday #16 ~ Water Demon
Cautiously, Evan inched closer. The foamy tide rolled up and splashed against the large algae covered reef. The women’s body, which he thought he’d imagined, fell from the reef and washed ashore.
“Holy shit, she’s real.” He rushed over to her.
Beautified with colors of blue and green, a lengthy aquatic fin extended from her waist. Carefully as he could, he gathered her up into his arms.
As soon as her body left the water, a pair of lean legs replaced the fish tail.
Suddenly, his brother came running his way, screaming, “Evan, put it back! It’s a water demon.”

Moral to the story; you shouldn’t pick up everything you find washed ashore. 😉

Oh lovely. You reeled me in with this one. You’re a tease Yvonne, Evan’s curiousity could make for a wonderful story here.
I was caught in the net as well. Nice post, Yvonne. 🙂
Nice! Hopefully she’s a nice water demon? lol
Yes, a water demon. Very cool. I loved how you created a story with so few words.
Hmm…a water demon. You got a lot of detail in with so few words. Awesome! I hope Evan’s able to toss her back in before the demon in her comes out. 🙂
I loved that. So imaginative. Great post!
I love the idea of the water demon! Great stuff!
I like this very much, quick! throw her back!
wow, very imaginative. not what i expected. nice FFF
Loved this! mmm Mermaid. Will he throw her back or be entranced in her beauty and keep her? 🙂
Oh Wow. At first I was thinking “little mermaid”, sweet and sexy mermaid. Then you twisted it around right at the last second and it is a Water Demon. Holy Hell Buddy, throw the witch back, quick.
Sounds like a good case for catch and release!
