A wonderful addition to our paranormal noir issue! ⚡️ #flashfiction
Aeryn Rudel@aerynrudel.bsky.social · 2d agoI have a new #flashfiction story out today from @flashfictiononline.bsky.social. It's part of their paranormal noir issue, and my story, "They've Got Your Number" is, IMHO, one of the best flash pieces I've written. Go see if I'm right. ;) ##writingcommunity flashfictiononline.com/issues/octob...
