We are thrilled to welcome Lisa Alletson with Meltdown, out tomorrow @lisaalletson.bsky.social#flashfiction#shortstory

Hello, Blue Sky! We're "welkin on sunshine" to be in this new place. Those of you who stare REALLY HARD at our profile might notice something exciting... #FlashFiction#Microfiction#WritingCompetition#AmWriting

The forest trail creaks beneath my son's feet as if he is walking across a wooden box of secrets, bound to roots by a spell so old not even the widest trees remember. We don’t speak in the cold, but the sun dips and wades with us through the white pines and this is the warmest place in our world.

Thrilled to have a micro up at @cincinnatireview.bsky.social@bendinggenres.bsky.social retreat, inspired by an abstract art card from the deck "Prose Scintilla" (Michael Todd Cohen). I interpreted the image as a mermaid.

I open my grandfather’s book of Keats poems to find a pressed iris the color of raw silk. With the flower, a sepia photograph of a young woman smiling slightly, gazing at the photographer with sunflower eyes. I close the book, carefully. Some things crumble when examined too closely.
