We return tomorrow with two great prose pieces, but before then, make time to read our recent contributor Janice Leadingham's (@thehagsoup) tenderly grotesque micro, "Creatures of the EZ-STOP," in @flashfroglitmag.

"The Baby is 5000 years old, she could’ve known almost anyone you’ve ever heard about, met them and their ghosts, but probably didn’t."

🍼 You wouldn't want to watch trash in front of Janice Leadingham's (@thehagsoup) The Baby in The Bulb Region today.

All right, you dancing people, you shufflers through grass! Yes, those feet of yours are terrific. So are your hands, your fingers. They wrote that thing and now they're going to deliver it to this place, here, for #59.

"Jimmy had the face of a Labrador Retriever all dogless girls know from childhood that belonged to a friend or a neighbor but of course was never theirs so that when the girls looked in Jimmy’s eyes they saw something like home but better." @thehagsoup https://t.co/3T3PTzk6Wf
