Hector Blake longed for the excitement of his old life.

He had awoken in a dark room, the walls of which being impervious to his intense pyrokinesis, to fend off an endless one-on-one assault of enemies. He was, a day prior, living in peaceful retirement back home on Titan, once being a renowned superhero across the Sol system.

Now, adversaries flood the room he had found himself in, and his tools and abilities are all that he can use to stave off exhaustion while fighting personifications of his slothful thoughts. Hector’s applied displays incinerated such hindrances while reinvigorating him--but can he keep the fire alive, let alone bright enough to face a stronger burning willpower?

...

This short story was published as part of "SM-SARA, Poetry and Other Stories", the second book in the HaikuPrajna collection.

Ado the Owl is the second piece of flash fiction in The Wisps Book; following Tomothy and the Overseer of the Forest, the Terraforms lose sight of the owl, who struggles to escape the darkness of their worries.

Book store blurb; 

" Ado the Owl, while on a stroll with the Overseer of the Forest, fell into a cave and was unable to escape or fly away.

The other Terraforms looked down, noticing that Ado had fallen into the cave, but the Terraforms disappeared one by one.

Because of this, Ado started to believe the Forest's cave was protecting them from a predator outside.

The Owl listened close, in case the others would return.

But Ado the Owl was unsure about calling out for help--they worried over attracting the predator. "

20221027 - Ado the Owl [Official "Tell a Story Day" Flash Fiction Story]

...

Tiny animal \\ abandoned during the fall, \\ saved by loving light.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - Ado the Owl 

...

Hello readers,

Today is the UK's National Tell a Story Day, so I am sharing a short piece of flash fiction about a Terraform named Ado which I wrote using ideas from my sister's birthday and our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend; April and I totally stole the name Ado from our waiter at the restaurant we celebrated my sister's birthday at.

The next Terraform story after Tomothy, "Ado the Owl" is about the Terraform falling into a cave, after being distracted by something shiny, during a walk with the Overseer of the Forest. 

Read "Ado the Owl" on Medium : https://medium.com/haikuprajna/20221027-ado-the-owl-official-tell-a-story-day-flash-fiction-story-e4c8a8ec8563

If you have exceeded your free monthly articles on Medium, hit me up and I will send you a Friend's Link.

Ado the Owl will see a wide ebook release in November 2022.

Thank you for reading.

Allen W. McLean

PS. Here is another 1000 word short story which I wrote for 2021's Inktober. 

https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/2021/10/20211031-happy-halloween-nanowrimo.html

I apologize for missing out this year, after tackling the "Primal" themed 2020 list with "Fishing for Caribou" and after attempting last year's list with "Bucket and Train" I had decided to take a break and enjoy the art and music that April was working on this year; I may end up using the 2022 prompts for a piece of flash fiction on Halloween or for NaNoWriMo 2022, but we will see.
