‘…I light two pear candles five days apart, to sit with the feeling of them in flickers and whispers…’ Just love the poetry of these details - @kathrynsilverhajo.bsky.social in @tinymolecules.bsky.social 🍂 www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

‘I like being in Wendy, darling’s house because she is capable.’ @pleomorphic2.bsky.social absolutely lands that ending in this new flash in @tinymolecules.bsky.social ⏰ www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

‘…because you craved salt, flavor, feeling, something.’ That brilliant, insistent ‘because’… @christinaltudor.bsky.social in @tinymolecules.bsky.social 🃏 www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

Tiny Molecules is awesome. Take a break from doom scrolling and read a lil' bit

For the weekend readers!

Super excited to have a piece in @tinymolecules.bsky.social! Thank you to @sdobbie.bsky.social for giving my unhappy wife story a home! Read "You Didn’t Leave Your Husband Because the Tarot Reader Told You To" here: www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

‘You can’t remember where you were on the night of the tenth.’ What an original piece from @woodardwriter.bsky.social in the new issue of @tinymolecules.bsky.social - brilliant! 🕵️‍♂️ www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

One more share of my latest story at @tinymolecules.bsky.social:

"On Friday, May 12, 1972, sometime between 4:00 pm and midnight, Edna Plumgarten spontaneously combusted" Wonderfully spooky flash fiction from @skoeplin.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Love the way this piece teeters on the edge of tension: www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

"I would have put her under a spell with crow bones and feathers, a long, deep sleep until she awakened in a world without phantom parents" A micro marvel from @bdiehl.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social that contains a universe in such a tiny space: www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

"Because you told the tarot reader you don’t want to leave your husband, you can’t leave so can she spin your fortune into something new" Love this from @christinaltudor.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Great use of anaphora and 2nd person narration: www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

"Like the phrase I have something to tell you, it loosens stones when dropped from great heights" Wonderful detective-noir edge to this gem from @woodardwriter.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Character layered with story layered with moments of truth: www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

Friends, I have a piece that isn’t entirely fictional in this issue of @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Thanks for reading 🙏🏾 “Wendy, darling and I talk about crocodiles, and ticking clocks, and people with hooks for hands.” www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

One ray of sunshine: I have a new little story in the latest issue of @tinymolecules.bsky.social. My thanks to @sdobbie.bsky.social for accepting it. This piece began at a weeklong @bendinggenres.bsky.social retreat many moons ago: www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

Making tea and clearing my morning schedule

"it still means so-little and so-much at the same time, just to stare at you, in this early evening, homebound birds dissolving in the sky" Wonderful wistful writing from @mandirapattnaik.bsky.social in @tinymolecules.bsky.social www.tinymolecules.com/issues/twent...

"The Wi-Fi didn’t work. Not even the fake kind that shows up just to disappoint you" Such an original piece from @mallorysmart.bsky.social in @tinymolecules.bsky.social - love the way it shifts, the surreal notes creeping in, the philosophical moments, the rich vein of imagery
