Flash Fiction in Avatar of Freya
In addition to the two longer stories in Avatar of Freya, I also included two flash fiction pieces featuring Friday Jones and friends!
“Friday Jones’ Helpful Advice for Preventing Your Super-Genius Roommate from Becoming a Supervillain” features Friday and her college roommate, Janella, aka Johnny Turbo, who is a mechanical genius with a super suit she built for herself. And who also happens to be ten years old. So Friday’s got some advice on managing such a roommate, just in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
In “Coffee Shop Canon,” Friday teams up with Lizzie, aka Electric Girl, to deal with a rude customer at the coffee stand where the two of them work. This is my nod to the ubiquitous “coffee shop AU” that is so common it’s pretty much a trope at this point. But in the Cobalt City Universe game where Friday first made her appearance, she was a barista, so it only made sense to do a coffee shop story! This was also inspired by Rosemary Jones’s story for the Cobalt City Dragonstorm anthology, where Lizzie’s unusual coffee combinations played a minor role.
If you prefer to listen to stories, “Friday Jones’ Helpful Advice …” is available in audio at the Manawaker Flash Fiction Podcast. “Coffee Shop Canon” is exclusive to Avatar of Freya!
