@TheCafeIrreal published my wild story about war & displaced persons, “We were hungry enough to eat a horse”. And I’m glad 😌! It’s a very dark world right now, & some of us are writing dark fiction early in the dark morning, to help us sort these clouds.
See my micro story, “This is the Street Where My Body Lives”, in the fine @CincinnReview Cincinnati Review. Themes of mind-body split, divorce, heartbreak, opposites attract, life-is-dull-without-sensuality, etc. I’m very jazzed about this one!

I have an energetic short-short story published in Fictive Dream Micro Mondays. A sort of, Be careful what you wish for, The law of unintended consequences, etc. It’s a delight to work w editor Laura Black!
https://t.co/simAxaNLKp Admiring the exquisite pacing, sensitive touch, & mostly, the heartbreak, of this prose price by talented Chip Houser, in @ChestnutReview
Still chiseling miniatures, learning more about beginning-middle-end. @100wordstory accepted another of mine, titled, “Past midnight, the chicken falls on her from above.” Than you to them!
Thank you, Fictive Dream, for accepting my micro story, “We moved to the country for the quiet, but”. It’s a pleasure to work with this fine lit magazine and their editor Laura.
Wowed by this highly inventive story by @emilyrinkema, @ Flight lit magazine. “We’ve only used this once, when Mom showed up at my apartment with a bottle of bottom shelf gin and a male hooker named Jeff….” Loving speculative layer + sister layer.
