Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors challenge. My hope is that over the next six months you’ll see either a nice & tidy 8-10 sentence flash fiction story or an excerpt from a piece I’m working on (like the one below). Check out other writers at the link above and the Weekend Writing Warriors twitter #8sunday. After this snippet you can find earlier links to this story. And as a reminder, this piece is entitled “Castille’s Stone.”
****************************
Frisco’s is never in the same spot, one night it’s in an abandoned warehouse; another night in a swanky nightclub. I followed Porsche past the big burly guards in black suits into the basement of a vacant high school. The thrumming of EDM music usually makes my head hurt but I needed to be surrounded by hedonism, even if I couldn’t participate. We made our way to the VIP section. I wasn’t surprised when I saw Porsche’s name on the table and two bottles of champagne waiting.
“Frisco is such a doll,” she yelled over the music.
Frisco’s is good for people watching. Every now and then a human manages to either stumble into the party or is willingly led into this den of iniquity. Either way, I try not to let my impulses get the best of me anymore. I don’t save humans like I used to; kicked that habit too.

Great scene-setting here, we get a good feel for the place in just a few sentences. That can be hard to pull off so kudos on that!

Excellent excerpt and I’m intrigued by this character who used to save humans and doesn’t much bother any more. Very cool mix of noir and paranormal here.
I loved that last line. It makes me rethink everything I’ve read.
I agree. That last line really got me. It made me want to keep reading about this intriguing character!
Interesting that she kicked that habit, too. 🙂 Great line! Good snippet, DC 🙂
Oh, dear. Poor humans. I wonder what they need saving from.
Sounds like quite the place… not that I’d want to be trapped there, but still! 🙂
Yep, gotta agree that the last line cinches it. Very nice!
