Moon Deluxe is part of the spring 2027 book by Julián Martinez that we're putting out. Enjoy!

[Julián Martinez @martinezfjulian]

new work out in @BulbRegion today!

first 1,000 words from a long ass story (novella territory) called Moon Deluxe. it’s very new and it’s different for me, but the folks at @FutureTenseBook say it’s their favorite stuff of mine so far 😬🥲 u too, maybe?
