“I always start with the face. So I don’t forget the kind of monsters they have us commemorate.” Our midweek read, “I Am My Art” by Ayida Shonibar, is part of our RESIST anthology. @ayidashonibar.bsky.social #artisresistance #resist #flashfiction flashfictiononline.com/issues/resis...

A story partly inspired by my grandparents (a vicar and a grief counsellor). It's part of a wonderful issue, and I definitely recommend the other stories accompanying it; E.M. Linden's epistolary horror is genius!

A contemplative release this Friday— A sleepy winter seaside has messages from ghosts in the sand for Agnes. Check out “Seastrand Beyond” by Anna Clark, now free to read on FFO ✍️ @annaclark.bsky.social #fantasy #writingcommunity #slipstream #amreading flashfictiononline.com/issues/july-...

I found this piece particularly thought provoking within the conversation of resistance. As we each try to find our place among the many fights against tyranny, Claudia Wair’s story “To Face Ourselves” resonates so deeply. @cwtellstales.bsky.social words have us all looking within. #Resist

This story says a lot about who we choose to be. Our choices define us, define our institutions, define our lives. In a world where the status quo is the gold standard, the question stands; Who will you choose to be? @mynachang.bsky.social certainly delivers with this hard hitting message! #Resist
