“Douglas continued to watch the man—so tall, hairless, and awkward—as he marveled at the cocktail shaker. He seemed both familiar and strange all at once.”

Loved this story BY @gbezanson in @xraylitmag

[X-R-A-Y @xraylitmag]

today we have a 1,000 word story by Graeme Bezanson @gbezanson !! it’s about a writer who goes to the reading of a more successsful writer. it’s about jealousy, comparing yourself to others, feeling stalled out…

Speaking as a firefighter fan AND a heart owner, I appreciated this one. ♥️

[X-R-A-Y @xraylitmag]

we have a great short today by Sean Craypo !! it's about two firefighters that arrive at the scene of a horrific car crash & find a dude's heart on the ground.
