"Nana catches the ghost of Esme’s fingers on the photo and exiles her like the criminal she is. Nana says she’s told her and she’s told her but Esme’s a little girl who never learned her manners." Esme learns her lesson by @nomad-sw18.bsky.social#flashfiction
A finger on the lips, a rubbing of the brow, a curling of the lip even at the threshold. This is the snip-snip rhythm Esme finds at Nana’s now that Grampa is gone.
Featuring work from @nomad-sw18.bsky.social@travisflatt.bsky.social@rinapalumbo.bsky.social@kimmagowan.bsky.social & Michelle Ross!
So thrilled to have a collab with Sumitra Singam in @nffr.bsky.social Blown away by the variety of stories in issue 34. Great interviews about the process of collaborative writing as well.
