This morning I woke up to an act of generosity. It's a dream come true to hear that their stories resonate with readers, and I'm honored that @turnandwork has published a feature on some of my recent flash stories. Thank you, Hugh. ❤️.

ICYMI. wildfires, the ninth step of twelve, ghosts of murdered daughters. it's all in here, and more.

The water carved its own path, and I moved around it, listening to the songs you sent me, the lyrics heavier now, sharper than when you were still breathing, laughing, hoping. gorgeous prose @melissacuisine @ReckonReview.

RT @DEHardywriter: 😱 I am floored to announce that I won the Baltimore Review flash fiction contest! 💚.

It was such a pleasure putting this collection together! Thank you, Mark, for inviting me to the picnic!.

RT @jenwithwords: A little sneak peek at my guest post that drops tomorrow on @MandiraPattnaik’s blog!!! . ⬇️⬇️⬇️.

Miss Jasper next door doesn’t have kids since she never hooked a husband and has to work for AT&T all day saying Number Please with nobody to talk to when she gets home. Oh I loved this gossipy one so much! @jeff__harvey in @trampset.

In bed that night, I thought about the soft collision. The car and the snow. I thought about my mother's car. All that crushed metal. I thought about the new couches. They were large and pink and you could sink into them with your whole body. Congrats @AFB16 @EL_DIAGRAM.

Gratitude becomes complicated. Your sister is dying. Your sister has been dying. Your sister will die. Some stories you instantly know in your heart why they win all the good things in all the good places. Congrats @maxiejanef.bsky.social in Booth.

She held up the new communication board. The sad image was much better than the simple frowny face on the hospital’s board. On this image, the head was tilted, the eyes dark, lamenting planets. Patience & empathy, reminding us of our better selves @claudiamonpere @GhostParachute.

Now I’m actually screaming in the most sacred place: around the baby. Under the baby. Inside the baby’s head for ten, twenty, eighty years until he is an old man and closes his eyes for the last time because that kind of trauma stains. Terrific micro @JennyStalter @GhostParachute.

you fight me with deep breaths and meditation but I am insidious and claw my way back up through the tendrils of calm that gossamer and melt like cotton candy in water not being eaten by a raccoon . Whoa, that's some wild shit! @lumchanmfa in @GhostParachute.

Fun story up in @GhostParachute. I conjured memories of watching Korean zombie movies with my niece for this one! Thanks to @brettpribble and to my awesome friend @amybookwhisper1 for creating perfect, quirky collage art even when she was on vacation.

RT @saralippmann: some news, as they say:.

It had borrowed the eyes of my father. The animal didn’t leave until I recognized him. Hiya dad, I said, and he trotted away. Satisfied. It was the only time I recognized someone who wasn’t fully in his form. This is just gorgeous Sabrina Hicks in @FracturedLit.

RT @PunyFingers: “Often, she looks out the window while buttering her toast, “The wisteria vines are starting to bloom again, David.” .@Daw….

Subs open 6/30!!.

RT @m_ixedbag: Do read this brilliant piece today! @DawnSteffler in JMWW.

Excited to have a new story out in a journal I've been admiring for years. 💜 Thank you so much, JMWW Journal! This is from my linked flash project about a trans teen who is misunderstood by her community. I hope you check it out.

I cannot wait to read this issue!!! Congrats to all the winners and finalists!.
