An AI generated image of a female writer, viewed from behind, standing and leaning back on a wooden desk as she looks out of the window in front of her. Her posture suggests she has just completed a significant piece of work, her shoulders relaxed, perhaps with a contented sigh. The desk itself is organised but shows signs of recent use – scattered papers, a few open books, a steaming mug of tea or coffee, and a pen resting upon a finished manuscript. The overall aesthetic is one of peaceful creativity and focused dedication.

This is it. The last #microfiction.

365 days of 100 words. 36,500 words.

If you only ever read one of them, thank you.

This is called Sowing.

An AI generated image of a mother and her daughter, silhouetted against a vast, inky blue night sky, their faces tilted upwards in wonder. The sky above them is a breathtaking spectacle, densely populated with countless shimmering stars, with a few brighter celestial bodies clearly visible. The aesthetic is serene and awe-inspiring, captured in a medium shot that emphasises their shared moment of quiet contemplation under the cosmic expanse.

Day 364/365 of my #microfiction challenge, and I've been a bit self-indulgent by referencing one of my favourite poems and one of my favourite films.

It's called All of us Stars.

An AI generated image of a close-up, eye-level shot of an antique wooden trunk, its surface weathered and worn. The lid is open, revealing a vibrant collection of neatly folded showgirl costumes. Delicate feathers in iridescent hues and sparkling sequins are visible, catching the light and hinting at opulent stage performances. The interior of the trunk is dark and rich, contrasting with the dazzling costumes.

I've written a #flashfiction every day for the last 355 days.

There are just 10 days of my challenge left to go.

I'm caught between relief that the pressure will be off, and the fear of wondering what comes next.

An AI generated image of a disgruntled-looking domestic cat, wearing an elaborate frilly pink fancy dress costume. It sits in the centre of a vibrant, slightly messy child's bedroom. The room features scattered plush toys, colourful drawings taped to the pink walls, and a sunbeam illuminating dust motes. The cat's expression is one of mild annoyance, contrasting humorously with the cheerful setting.

An AI generated image of a whimsical, friendly dinosaur-shaped nightlight, emitting a soft, warm glow, sitting on a wooden bedside table in a dimly lit child's bedroom. The room features subtle, muted colours, a hint of wallpaper pattern on the wall, and the gentle silhouette of toys or books on a shelf in the background. The focus is on the playful design of the nightlight and the cozy atmosphere of the room.
