In\xa0Geek To Geek Issue 5\xa0the Scrolls team\xa0contributed a little segment on Flash Fiction, defining it\xa0and discussing the attraction of this growing form story-telling.
It will surprise none of our regular listeners when I tell you that the conversation went on for an awful lot longer than the 18 minutes previously released.\xa0 Here,
for the first time, you can hear the full discussion (clocking in at just under an hour and a half.)\xa0 Furthermore, for your listening pleasure,\xa0we present recordings of
no less that\xa0ten\xa0Flash pieces scattered throughout the episode.
\xa0
There is some bad language used\xa0by the\xa0team\xa0and there are elements of horror in\xa0several of these Flash pieces, varying from the visceral to the psychological.\xa0
Whilst we\xa0do not always think to put a\xa0Parental Advisory\xa0warning\xa0on our podcasts, you should think twice before playing this episode\xa0in the hearing of children.
