Flash Fiction for the Purposeful Practitioner is a weekly writing challenge designed for both the flash fiction newbie and the more experienced writer. It is the desire of this challenge to allow writers the opportunity to clear the cobwebs from a more tedious and involved project. Becoming a part of a new and growing writer’s community might be just what the doctor ordered to rejuvenate your writing juices.
The opening sentence for the January 15th Flash Fiction for the Purposeful Practitioner: ” We were within a mile-and-a-half of the service roads when we found it.”
2099
“We were within a mile-and-a-half of the service roads when we found it.”
It was totally awesome! We saw a huge building that appeared void of color.
Tony had her camera ready to get a picture of it, but was immediately stopped from taking it by an armed security guard. He immediately confiscated her camera, but said she could have it back when we came out of the building.
After entering the building we had to walk through a scanner, given a pair of hi-tech glasses, then ushered into the main room.
The room was empty! However, after putting on the glasses everything in the room became visible.
We were standing in the year, 2099 room.

Cool! Such a hidden location is the best place to situate a top secret facility. It’s nice to know the Earth is still in one piece in 2099! Or maybe they’re seeing a nuclear wasteland…

Thank you! Hopefully it isn’t a nuclear wasteland! But, with situations like they are these days, anything is possible.

Those must be some glasses to automatically take you to the year, 2099! I would love to look through those glasses. Great story Jessie!

Thank you, Joy! I would enjoy seeing that also. Glasses can create amazing things…3-D for movies, and some friends of ours had gotten some special glasses from Disneyland that made the lights on the Christmas tree appear to look like angels .
