This flash fiction story, Phone Me a Memory, gives the readers a family reunion that is well attended and made possible through technology. A poignant tale of recollection.

Bill, thanks for the review. I have lot of my Dad's books and diaries around the place. They certainly bring on the memories. Take care and have a great day.
Cheers

It's interesting how something as simple as a telephone diary can trigger memories that come alive. You covered that well with your flash fiction. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
There is a great camaraderie among those who do life threatening work as they rely on each other for support and it is crucial to have the loyalty of those you work with in these circumstances. I loved your snippet of memories that filled the air from your Father's telephone diary, a fine post, very touching indeed Barry, a joy to read, love Dolly x x

Thanks Dolly for your review. Yes bushfire fighting is not an easy role and they were a pretty good trio when it got down to the hard stuff. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day and take care.

Beautifully done and so easy to slide into the memory mode with you. Enough detail and description to create a complete story in a few words. Indeed, it allowed me to add my own thoughts of times past when I completed reading your post. Good luck in the contest. ann

When we think back the vividness of recall is intensely strong, faces can be remembered in fine detail, but some of those faces are no longer here, beautifully written Barry, blessings Roy

Thanks, Roy for your review. Yes, I find the recall very strong in some instances. As if they were there with you. I had a tear in my eye when I wrote this one.
Take care and have a great day.
Cheers
Barry.

I can understand that.
Comment from Eternal Muse
That was great flash fiction. Sometimes I feel this was about people in my past, looking at them years ago on Facebook. It's been years ago since I saw them last - and now look, they have families and children - and all their pictures.
How well you out it! I lived your subtle humor and great narrating ability
I enjoyed it very much, thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

To use the phone diary as a vehicle to remember loved ones and acquaintances was a very effective device. This made for a successful flash and a delightful read. Good luck in the contest.
