We’ve still got our thinking caps on, so we’re extending our break into the Autumn.

In the meantime, you can travel through centuries of #HistoricalFlash inspiration on our Timeline 👉🏼 https://t.co/pJUKQ2DNYq

📰 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

We’re stopping the clocks at FlashBack between January and June 2023.

It’s the end of our fifth year and we’re ready for some time out.

We won’t be opening submissions or publishing new stories in this period. 1/4

"She lost a slipper and now hobbled over the stones and mud. But she kept walking. Her hand firmly gripped in her mother’s grasp. Her mother’s fingernails black with dirt. They had just buried the baby by the roadside." Haunting @Susmitatweets @FlashBackFic

Read Matt Kendrick’s latest post on Substack, exploring all the complexities of voice, whether belonging to the author, narrator, or character.

And thank you Matt for using my story, TYN (published @FlashBackFic) as an example of historical voice!

Happy #IndependenceDayIndia
May we remember the sacrifices.
Re-sharing a story about Cellular Jail/Kaala Paani where one can find hundreds of names engraved on the walls, of people who gave their all. Each name must have been a heart-wrenching story...
