Next in my @smokelong.bsky.social #archivechallege for @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social: “Fitting in” by @jekwriter.bsky.social, a 6-sentence story about molding/minimizing oneself to fit expectations. Love the magic-realism. “…so she bought a shoebox to live in, and shrunk herself in the dryer.”

So excited to have a story on the longlist!!!
