If there is no agreement in Washington on raising the debt limit, social security checks may not be sent on August 3.  Bad news for the Old Soldier.  There is a world-wide money crisis going on.

Greece is seeking a second bail out.  Ireland’s sovereign bonds have been down graded to junk status.  And now lenders are raising the interest on what the government of Italy can borrow.

I am not an alarmist, but things do not look good.

The challenge for a flash fiction writer is, how to use anything and everything to give his or her work the feeling of authenticity.  Of corse, I’m speaking as a basically realistic writer.

The flash fiction stories on the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette are realistic stories, whether they are romance, erotica, mainstream or literary fiction.
