  • A few months ago I entered a Flash fiction competition.

  • I've talked about flash fiction on the podcast before.

  • It's stories that are less than a thousand words long.

  • Anyway, this competition was run by reflex fiction and I won second place.

  • My story was called I bet I could taste it and it's kind of hard to describe.

  • Generally I could say it's a post apocalyptic story, which means it takes place in a world after a big nuclear war.

  • But as with most flash fiction, it's more about the feeling it gives than having a complicated story.

  • If you'd like to read my piece, you can google reflex fiction.

  • I bet I could taste it or come over to the transcript@easystoriesinenglish.com.

  • last where I've left a link to the story.

  • Just remember this story is aimed at native speakers so it might be a bit difficult to understand.

  • I will probably do a version of the story on the podcast, changing it to intermediate or advanced level and adding some details to make it easier to understand.

  • Anyway, todays story is a traditional celtic story.
