• Write a drabble/flash fiction inspired by the word of the week.

FB3X Drabble Casade #32 - The Last Cage

Suitable for All

This is Fantasy Boys XXX flash fiction entry for the 32nd Drabble Cascade.

Author's Note

I've been cheating with length in a few cascades, so I decided I needed to do a proper drabble, to exercise my word skills and try and get the whole moment into just the 100 words. I hope I've succeeded.

FB3X Drabble Cascade #32 - word of the week is 'cage'

This post is suitable for all.

The Way A Cascade Works

Our word of the week prompt is 'cage'. We chose the word this week rather than picking it randomly because we are horrified by what Kobo and WHSmiths have done to independent authors just because their screening procedures seem to have been inadequate. If you don't know they have "quarantined" all self-pub books on their site so they no longer show up in searches and even if you can find them you can't buy them because the Daily Mail made a fuss about some porn they found. So basically they have punished every self-pub for their own lack of screening in letting books they don't want associated with their site onto their site.

In happier news, congrats to Charisstoma on winning the free eBook from our last Drabble Cascade. Dear Charis, there is an message winging it's way to you so you can pick which on you would like.

This was one of those times when my word count went nuts, but I felt the story needed it to tell the tale. It's an exploration of what independence means.

Author's Note

After not having time to write for a couple of weeks thanks to work and then family emergency, lots of idea sprang to mind for the word stake, most of them vampiric. ;P However, then this little thought formed in my head. It's a brief window on an argument and I leave it to the reader to decide what it's about, maybe you can tell me.
