Foster Trecost ~ Two Flash Fictions - New World Writing Quarterly

The Pretenders The book landed somewhere between bad and unbearable. I suspected it from the start, but kept reading anyway. Maybe to beat back boredom. Maybe

The Bottom Drawer by Foster Trecost

The soft couch encouraged recollection. The locked door made it more difficult. A space heater ticked rhythmically in the corner. Lying prone, Johnson stared at the ceiling, and into his past.

A Crack in the Sidewalk

by Foster Trecost It wasn’t until I walked outside that it occurred to me. The unfamiliar hum of streetlamps settled on my senses even before I perceived the darkness, telling me what my watch alre…

Back when I was a security guard at The Masters. That's me, kneeling to the right of the man in the red blazer. This was 1994.

I'd rather be an unknown writer who is also an accountant than just an accountant.

I'm not writing as much, therfore not submitting as much, therefore not publishing as much, but woke this morning to an acceptance. Still feels as good as the first, over 20 years ago. Note to self: write more, write better.

I can't believe it's almost time to make my Masters picks. I run a fantasy league at my paying job (I like my non-paying job better)..

Another post from before I signed up, this one from Roi Fainéant Press.

Roi Fainéant Press SUBS ARE OPEN, BAYBEE!@rfpress.bsky.social · 2y ago

Our senses are important & help us make sense of the world around us. But sometimes they're overrated & all we really need to interpret our surroundings is a child-like imagination. This is "The Over-Rated Importance of Sound" by Foster Trecost. www.roifaineantpress.com/post/the-ove...

Its usually around now when I lower my goal for publications and I'm about to do away with them altogether. It's more fun this way.

I don't really mind rejections but it'd be nice to get fewer of them. I know, I know - write better stories.

Not a big football fan but I lived in Philly for 12 years, long enough, I think, to rightfully claim the Eagles as my hometeam.

It's always 1st or 3rd...I'm yet to try 2nd.

I wrote my first short story when I was 13. It was about a serial killer who took his victims in elevators, so everyone started taking the stairs instead. An unforeseen byproduct was that they all got in better shape. Something like that, it was a long time ago.

Kinda new round here and just now seeing this:

Suddenly And Without Warning@sawwflashfiction.bsky.social · 3y ago

I adore the phrase "suit-clad metronome", and have a feeling it's going to stick with me for a while. Awesome story by returning author Foster Trecost up in here today. www.suddenlyandwithoutwarning.com/blank-spaces/

It's so nice to again be in the company of writers. This morning I woke to a rekindled sense of inclusion...and snow.
