I don’t know understand why I can’t keep them, so I don’t stop asking. Eventually, while scrubbing dishes, she says, “Wild things are meant to be free, Jeannie.” She’s in one of those moods where she feels “harassed” by everyone and everything @chelseastickle.bsky.social @reckonreview.bsky.social

"My repurposed Peter Pan peanut butter jar winks neon yellow-green from the fireflies I caught before dinner. When I was really little, Mom used to come with me. Now she lets me go alone." I love this extraordinary piece by @chelseastickle.bsky.social in @reckonreview.bsky.social 💙💙💙

A huge, HUGE (!!!) thanks to @meaganlucas.bsky.social and the team at @reckonreview.bsky.social for publishing my creepy-ass, lead-paint story, “Communion.” (Seriously, I owe them an insane amount of bourbon and brownies for this.) reckonreview.com/communion-fi...
Learning about incredible works of literature past their initial publication dates is a goddamn joy, like what just happened to me with @cwblackwell.bsky.social's "The Kings of Ghost City," c/o @reckonreview.bsky.social. Holy hell, it's a precise, outstanding story. reckonreview.com/the-kings-of...
