About me!

Hello everyone👋,

My name is Ashley. I am a Kenyan national and this blog is majorly going to center on flash fiction. I would like to welcome you to taste slices of life through the short stories I will be publishing every now and then. Why write this in a blog? Even I don't know the answer to that. I could perhaps say it's the excitement to try something new? Nevertheless, all are welcome to join me. 

Disclaimer: The following stories are purely a work of fiction. Any resemblances to real people, places or events are purely coincidental.

Do not steal any of my ideas or stories. Firm legal action will be taken if you decide to so. 

With that out of the way, I will disclose a secret about myself. I was an avid reader before someone enlightened me on the writing skill that I had. I was a reader more than a conversationalist, a reader more than anything else, if anyone asked me if I had any talent I would think reading. Society doesn't seem to think of it as a real talent but as a child I thought so, couldn't voice it of course for fear of ridicule but I always thought so. Later in life I discovered why it was so easy for me to drown in the world of fiction. I think you want to know why too, you sly curious creatures. However, it is no secret. It is probably the same reason some of you are here right now reading this. I wanted to escape. "Escape what?" you're probably wondering. Reality, as an unpopular kid in school (not that popularity really matters anyway as I later came to understand), I wanted to find a place where I was accepted. A place where I could be someone else and feel all kinds of emotions like adrenaline in adventure or solve a murder case and be praised for it. Find fairies in a my world or escape to a different world and discover that I was special and that there was something in me that no one else had. I was trying to run away from the feeling that I was just like everybody else or worse; I was a nobody. I read to escape from reality because I can't bear the thought of this plaid reality of mine that is black and white. Now that I am older and can change things and I can understand and see things clearer, maybe I can change what is my reality and sometimes when I can't I go back to my stories and escape. Now that I write, maybe I can show you a slice of where I run to when I close my eyes every night and dream or during the day when I feel like the most boring person on earth because there is nothing special about me. I don't know if you'd like to see where I go, or maybe find a new world too?  I ask you to join me and choose a pill and let's be special for a minute. Let's be heroes, detectives, eye witnesses; or we could just be different and find the inner strength we need to be free. Are you coming?😏

P.S: I have a book published on Webnovel and Wattpad by the name Babydoll. You can check it out on Webnovel here. You can also check out some poetry I have on Wattpad and follow me there as well @eerieecho. Feel free to give constructive criticism on my writing and I will be sure to work on any suggestions given

Happy reading guys!👋
