A lovely surprise to see my story 'Once There Was Water' reviewed in the new issue of Haven Spec! Huge thank you to @danaiwrites.bsky.social for the kind words 🥰 🖤
Perfect timing! Today I visited the place that inspired my flash here. 1) A drowned mosque & Jakarta’s giant seawall (inner seawall along the north coast, not yet the offshore seawall in the story). Ft youths playing nonchalantly in the inky sea of the bay. 2) Seawall from below, ft me for scale.
Pops up from closet I'm supposed to be hiding in! Here my first free to read story in a couple years! Bleeding Hearts is my version of a goth queer meet cute??? Plants! Lesbians! A neighbour who keeps to herself! Blood alchemy! Ex girlfriends. And a tuckerization! I hope you like it!
