New Flash by @kelliborges2.bsky.social "he says, as soon as this is over. She lists the names of towns she’s always wanted to see, foreign and sticky on her tongue, Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne, Zermatt, as they sit abreast at the infusion center in Tucson," fracturedlit.com/well-finally...

OMG. During the pandemic, my daughter made a very elaborate fairy garden in our front yard. Not much is left of it … just a few things. Today, a little girl left a note in our yard inviting the fairies to her birthday party! 😭😭😭❤️

A reminder subs are open until Aug 5. Details on the vibe in the link but we don’t always know what we love until we see it. So instead send what you love. What little beauty has your heart even if you think it’s too odd or thorny or sweet to find a home templeinacity.com/submit-writi...

Wow. Such a journey in so few words.

SHE'S LIVE!! A ton of varied stuff to read, including a ghost story by yours truly. Makes me happy to see new magazines supporting flash fiction.
