‘…cabbage raids at dawn, strong legs rocketing across the knoll, boxing potential mates…’ Dynamite writing from Sara Hills in HAD 🐇

‘You may fear the necessity of destruction, but sometimes forests need to burn, cornfields need to burn, our bodies need to burn into vapor like a pot left boiling.’ A scorcher from @nancystohlman in the new issue of Ghost Parachute ⚡️

i'll be honest, that final "I can't do everything" kinda extra hit today. helluva short today from Alex Tronson! havehashad.com/hadposts/exit-…

‘You think of Brown Rabbit, hope he is being stroked in a pattern of threes down his back where the fur has worn thin…’ Beautifully done. Marie-Louise McGuinness in @FictiveDream 🏫

‘Shut your waves up, shut your waves up and leave me alone; I just came here to light a cigarette and moon-breathe, not to talk about the past.’ Devastating new flash from Nora Nadjarian in Fractured Lit; love how the sea becomes a character… 🌊

‘…though possibly if another bee had fastened itself to my shoulder right then, I would have drowned it, too.’ Oof, what a corker from Michelle Ross in the new issue of Centaur Lit 🐝 centaurlit.com/conspiracy-by-…

‘She wants to stare into Jimmy Taylor’s dark blue dark blues and see something other than the kind of midnight that doesn’t even have a fleck of the moon.’ So much yearning in this brilliant new francinewitte flash in Centaur Lit 👁️ centaurlit.com/something-othe…

‘…our secret desires revealing themselves through the stories we tell each other.’ This is lovely, and loving, and the exact loveliness I need right now. Holly Pelesky in Milk Candy Review 🎶

"When she came into my life, I didn’t like myself much. But she pulled on my yarn-heart, until all the knots came undone" James Montgomery in ELJ Editions ❤️💔❤️ emergeliteraryjournal.com/artemis/

I very rarely write CNF. But when Artemis died, I couldn’t find a lot of flash that captured the loss of a much-loved pet. It felt important to me to try and put that feeling into words. Thanks for publishing this, ELJ Editions ❤️🐈 emergeliteraryjournal.com/artemis/

This is so beautiful and perfect. Also love how your first and last lines mirror each other. So sorry for your loss. James Montgomery ELJ Editions
