FLASH FICTION COMPETITION

Data:

Flash fiction for SHOTS4 is Iiiusion:

Dictionary definition- a false apperance or deceptive impression of reality.

Where the mirror gives an illusion of
depth. A false or misleading perception of belief is ‘dillusion’.A perception
that is not true to reality, having been altered subjectively in the mind of the
perceiver.

Please also consider ‘Hallucination’. Hope that’s OK.
P.C. World... So what exactly does this mean to you? A Pretentious
Construct in shades of grey? Coloured or Black? Or will Pretty Colours do
instead? Throw them all up in gay abandon. Stir them up with your own
Personal Comments; or is it all just Pretty Crap? Personal Computer, Police
Constable, all Perfectly Correct, but even if you are Pondorously Covert are
you above all being Politically Correct, because if you’re not, be Particularly
Careful!

For Shots4 we will allow you to be as un P.C. as you wish and look

forward to your very Perceptive Contributions.
