Well, I seem to fail at the whole 1000 words a day thing...but I do have my submission to the newest flash fiction challenge over at Terrible Minds. This time the challenge was to torture your protagonist and I decided to focus on one of my favorite characters, Mantarok. He is the main character in quite a few of the short stories I've written and this is just a little peek into what happened when he was a boy. I hope it is sufficiently torturous for the challenge.
