Edgy, unique, and hard-hitting with a little bit of attitude thrown in for good measure. Writing with a serrated edge. https://t.co/Rc885a6TvD

This story from E.D. Taylor begins with a perfect swipe of lipstick & ends with a disappearance. A haunting tale about the rituals we learn, the dreams we chase, & the dark turns life takes when the universe stops listening. Read the story: https://t.co/aLv4zxb70q 📚🎸

For the rush hour crowd, it's late, daylight's fading - perfect time to settle in with this story from A.J. O'Toole: https://t.co/RXrsoursi9

This morning's story from A.J. O'Toole is taut, cinematic, and steeped in atmosphere. It reads like pure McKinty meets le Carré: morally gray, procedural, and emotionally tight. You can read it here: https://t.co/RXrsouqUsB 🎸📚

“Short fiction is at the core of humanity. It’s no surprise; the format is ideal: compact, effective, memorable”
A sign of a one-track mind is that I can watch 8 episodes of a damn good TV show and there's one throwaway line of dialogue that will get me going ... it's today on the stack. As usual, link in the comments.
