"...[T]he ghost voices sharpen, become distinct, the voices of fathers departed, the voices of mothers’ broken boyfriends." I love this story by @tomwellerstories.bsky.social in @flashfrog.bsky.social flash-frog.com/2025/10/27/w...

Wow. Tom Weller has written a series of Scrap Boys flashes, incl. 'Rangers', 'Bottles', 'Hunger', but I think this one's his best.

"The castle sways more and more, and the father says they must remain diligent. No cutting corners. Each floor must be stronger than the last."

Very excited to have a story in @flashfrog.bsky.social, a journal I’ve long admired. Thank you @ericscottryon.bsky.social for the edits and commissioning such perfect artwork! I hope you give it a read

Thrilled to kick off @flashfrog.bsky.social's Frogtober with a ghost story! Thanks to @ericscottryon.bsky.social, and thanks to my bud, @courtneyb77.bsky.social, for absolutely perfect art; shout out to her and @kimmagowan.bsky.social for the early eyes on the piece. flash-frog.com/2025/10/06/c...

“Every ghost caves. Maybe it’s boredom. Perhaps curiosity. But it starts with nudity, with peeping.” I always love reading @mczyzniejewski.bsky.social & doubly so during Flash Frogtober

👻 “Eventually, and predictably, nudity doesn’t cut it. You can only look at so many boobs, so many butts, so much genitalia before you want to raise the stakes.” 👻
