An incredibly banger issue closing to a magazine I love for taking risks and buying challenging and unusual works. I'm honored to have been published by Arsenika.

We adore anything that experiments with formatting, and this piece in particular uses the recipes to great and poignant effect. Fantastic example of what flash fiction can accomplish emotionally in a compressed space!
