Flash fiction and the Hero’s Journey: an invitation

In the next 12 blog posts, I request my authors to apply the twelve steps of a heroic journey (Joseph Campbell) to the story structure of lightning novels. Please share this trip.

The structure of the hero's journey is taken from life. Each of us walks, runs, or skips every step of our life. Sometimes I feel like taking a straight line, sometimes I am hovering around like a well-known snake swallowing a story. These steps also apply to writers' trips

I am currently experimenting whether the structure of the hero's journey can be applied to very short stories.

Flash novel provides thousands of words, compression of imaginary elements and satisfies the reader's "rap" story

"One hour before Qantas flight from Los Angeles to Sydney, my father had a fifth heart attack."

Nearly all books and movie stories follow a heroic journey. The hero's journey is the layout of the main events that appear in the story. There are 10 points on the hero's journey and 10 points are part of the event and heroic life. Flash has all the points of the journey of the hero's life. The first point is that the hero shows his social culture and values. The Flash community emphasizes families, safety, justice and correct mistakes. Lightning does not abuse his power and uses them to save people from danger. He is determined to find a murderer of his mother and to obtain justice. Secondly, the main character is abnormal situation at birth or young age. The secret identity of Flash is Barry Allen. One evening, when he was young, when he had no strength, his house was accessed as a flash by his own old version, and his enemies were backflush, Eobard Thawne

In the new version of Flash and Green Lantern, when DCs re-emerged their hero in the 1950s and 1960s, they decided that older heroes are fictitious - at least the golden age of flash is notorious Until till 1961 Barry Allen met with "Flash of Two Worlds". Flash # 123 makes it an alternative timeline. The golden age of Batman and Catwoman who was active during the Second World War, or the "Earth II" version was later decided to be married after Serena Kyle retired. Over time, the relationship between Batman and Catwoman became more complicated. In 1987, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli reaffirmed the origins of Batman in the "Batman: First Year" story of Batman # 404-407. With this, Kyle became a sex worker with affinity with cats. It led to the first mini play of Catwoman, Mindy Newell and JJ Birch in 1989. In the 1990s Catwoman had her own series every month, originally created by Joe Duffy and Jim Barent, and since then she always has your own title.

"Hero's journey" also known as "living alone" is the most popular fictitious story template since historical mythology. In general, the hero's journey starts with an adventurous hero / heroine, faces a crisis on the way, finally ends with their victory, and follows a wide pattern of returning completely. (Familiar? The two popular young adult book series, the starving game series and the Harry Potter series followed this story till T, and even at the end of each book, the heroes I came back home Olympic / Hogwart 's time has ended!
