flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/2026/06/litt... I made into the Flood, this year! Thanks to poet @josehernandezdz.bsky.social for his generative prose poem zoom classes, where I’ve written prose poems (microfictions 😉) over time, recently published in at least half dozen literary journals

The tumor shows up the size of a lemon, protruding off her side. And soon it’s a Florida grapefruit, ruby red, looking up over the waistband...

@natflashfictionday.bsky.social National flash fiction day! Fun. Starts tomorrow Saturday, micro stories from them, every few minutes.
hello! Enjoy National Flash Fiction Day New Zealand Micro Madness @natflashfictionday.bsky.social for some sparkling, 100 word beauties. Notice this fine piece by friend & talented writer @tom1walsh.bsky.social, “That Guru That You Do”.
The Cafe Irreal published my wild story about war & displaced persons, “We were hungry enough to eat a horse”. And I’m glad 😌! It’s a very dark world right now, & some of us are writing dark fiction early in the dark morning, to help us sort these clouds.
See my micro story, "This is the Street Where My Body Lives", in the fine @cincinnatireview.bsky.social Cincinnati Review. Themes of mind-body split, divorce, heartbreak, opposites attract, life-is-dull-without- sensuality, etc. I'm very jazzed 😃 about this one!
I have an energetic new short-short story published today in Fictive Dream Micro Mondays. It’s a delight to work with editor Laura Black! t.gifs.bsky.app/ZOO_9pW2b_wA...

Still chiseling miniatures, learning more about beginning-middle-end. @100wordstory.bsky.social accepted another of mine, titled, “Past midnight, the chicken falls on her from above.” Than you to them!
Thank you, @fictivedream.bsky.social , for accepting my micro story, “We moved to the country for the quiet, but”. It’s a pleasure to work with this fine lit magazine and their editor Laura.
Thank you, @fictivedream.bsky.social for accepting my microstory, “We Moved to the Country for the Quiet, But”. It’s a pleasure to work with that little magazine & their editor Laura.
Wowed by this highly inventive story by @emilyrinkema.bsky.social , @ Flight lit magazine. “We’ve only used this once, when Mom showed up at my apartment with a bottle of bottom shelf gin and a male hooker named Jeff….” Loving speculative layer + sister layer.
No Kings event this past weekend in Austin Texas was hopeful, inspiring, upbeat.
