"I imagine Courtney on the ferry earlier today. In my imagination, all the couples are making out, maybe there’s even some light fingering." From the new issue of @epiphanylit.bsky.social : Amelia Beckerman's "Boyfriend Island" 😆 so, so funny www.epiphanymagazine.org/features/boy...
Boyfriend Island — Epiphany Magazine
We watch as they don’t even glance back at the dock sinking under the weight of all the people who love them too. As the ferry pulls away, I break into shoulder-curling sobs.

Our new issue, “Neighbors,” is dropping on June 15! Issue 36’s striking collection of work confronts the ways that people long for each other—from a Playboy Mansion to a Nigerian schoolyard to the classic avyan in a new translation of an unsung Iranian author.

Excellent new fiction in @epiphanylit.bsky.social online: Emma Heath's "Grievance Line" www.epiphanymagazine.org/features/gri...
![Screenshot of text from a short story: "Just because Susan was able to fully evolve to the bird of paradise pose in Fabulous Mrs. Jansson's Yoga class in Hawaii, where you had moved for high school, after Australia, does not meet our qualifications for [Valid Grievance]. The fact that Mrs. Jansson called Susan an “elegant crane” while she said she could tell you ate too much white bread “from the way your legs looked” was not at all the fault of Susan. We have categorized this as a [Misdirected Grievance]."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:z2lrynib5wdsufkx63hpohuy/bafkreiftgtvcs43i5q2abvr4afjwzksk37pz7tu3evnd3f4xygkdh2ftau)
