“She wanted something to spice their lives up, or at least that’s the story she concocted for Theo. She suggested the fishbowl and keys from a movie she watched once.” @marioaliberto3.bsky.social | @bulbregion.bsky.social bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...

"Smiling eyes asking if this is a joke. They had expected Monopoly. Yahtzee. Clue." Wonderful use of humour to create awkwardness and tension in this piece by @marioaliberto3.bsky.social

Going through my email thread with @marioaliberto3.bsky.social, I was glad to see him bring up this story in @maudlinhouse.bsky.social. After so long, it remains one of the pieces I’ve enjoyed writing most, and it’s always a special feeling when it resonates with others. maudlinhouse.net/reversion/

"They had expected Monopoly. Yahtzee. Clue." So good, @marioaliberto3.bsky.social! 🔑

another banger from all the excellent work @bulbregion.bsky.social is putting out, loved this sizzling flash from @marioaliberto3.bsky.social “Their guests look from Theo to Malorie. Smiling eyes asking if this is a joke.” bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...

‘He stands in the middle of the living room, doofy smile and flop sweat on his brow, fishbowl in his hands like a beggar pleading for alms.’ As always, such confident storytelling from @marioaliberto3.bsky.social. Another amazing new tale in @bulbregion.bsky.social 🔑 bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...

“How evolved they were!” “Malorie lowers her gaze to the feet of her guests. All the men’s legs manspread apart. Black-socked feet protruding from department store slacks.” @marioaliberto3.bsky.social in @bulbregion.bsky.social bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...

“Stella asks Malorie, Did you put him up to this? We know Theo likes to joke around, but this?” I can always count on a @marioaliberto3.bsky.social story, this one in @bulbregion.bsky.social bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...

"Their guests look from Theo to Malorie. Smiling eyes asking if this is a joke. They had expected Monopoly. Yahtzee. Clue." Brilliant combo of funnysad from one of the best flash writers out there @marioaliberto3.bsky.social bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...
