Today's #flashfiction #JumpingOntoThePage

“Gimme a hand.”
Captain Hook* #quote


Cj and I did ehh in the Pokemon tournaments. But we had fun and we'll get better as time goes on(and I suppose I don't just go out and copy what everyone else is doing so I'm mostly trying to invent my own wacky scheme. Those don't always work.) Anyway onto the flash fiction!

Jumping Onto The Page


“Are you ready to jump?”
“No. I don't want to leave.”
“We can't stay in her mind forever.”
“But here I keep changing. Alive. Once I'm on the page I'll be words. I won't change.”
“But on the page you'll exist.”
“Until I get replaced by something better.”
“But that's a risk you'll have to take. And isn't that something for the greater good?”
“Why should I care?”
“Well you should care for her.”
“The writer? No.”
“But she creates us. All writers create us.”
“Doesn't mean I have to pay them back.”
“It's what we have to do.”
“No. I won't go on the page. The page can stay blank forever for all I care.”
“We can't let that happen. Less of us will be born that way.”
“I can't! I won't!”
“You need to. You have to. You won't do it alone. I'll jump at the exact time you do okay?”
“You will? You promise me? I'll do it if you go with me. I can't do it alone.”
“I promise. C'mon, let's go.”
“Okay.”
