I originally wrote this piece as an exercise for myself. I was never all that interested in flash fiction until I starting writing again in 2018. But once I started, I realized just how much I really liked it and decided to keep practicing. There's nothing all that flashy or special about this one - I was just really proud of how it turned out! ___________________________________________________

Bryolic. Runner-Up in the Neolomicro Challenge. Top Story - November 2023.
The forest is never silent, even at dusk. Leaves rustle, peepers sing in the distance, the creek trickles peacefully. The sounds, though, are dampened by the thick moss that coats the forest. It has spread like a blanket, like a virus, across the trees and the rocks and the earth.

A/N: I realize the Neolomicro Challenge closed yesterday. I managed to get one entry in and I hadn't intended to do another one, so that's ok. The fact is, while accompanying my wife to Hobby Lobby today, it occurred to me how her Christmas Spirit shines in the custom stockings she's constantly knitting this time of year. My mind being what is, something came to mind, and well, I'll just leave this right here.
