"Back downstairs, Florida has finally found the show Pigs Go Boom. It consists of a group of pranksters placing explosive miniature pigs in unassuming places and then filming the reactions when the pigs explode into clouds of glitter and, apparently, foul stink."

Missing Space Alien by Nathaniel Krenkel I’ve lost my stoned alien, but I am over my panic attack. I realize it’s later than I’d thought, virtually the middle of the night. [...]

"She’s a creepy clown; me, a frozen child. Florida’s arm launches from the top of his head, hinges 180 degrees until his palm is pressed firmly on the path before the statue, he lowers himself slowly to the ground, with the grace and exhale of a yoga master."

"The air around him turned into a sunset, an exploding garden, a slow stiffening leak. He fed more food into his mouth, but swallowing was no longer an option. His cheeks expanded and swelled until they touched the walls and filled the room."

Watching TV With Florida | Nathaniel Krenkel β€œWhat’s this?” FloridaΒΉ asks. β€œTed Lasso? We tried it before, you didn’t like it because of the guy’s mustache.” β€œReally? I don’t remember. Can we try again?” β€œSure.” I hit play. We watch Ted Lasso…

β€œI hit PLAY. Seconds later The Psychedelic Furs are blasting out of the TV speakers. I’m rocking my head up and down. Florida is doing his towel-wave dance with his arm and kicking both his legs. All three limbs, growing.”

Let me tell you a story about a Compromised Fuse A flash fiction about the frustrations of aging and tech, as a father navigates PIN numbers, phone trees and Kafkaesque obstacles to get his daughter’s phone working in Paris.

β€œI am told to enter my PIN. I don’t think I have a PIN, and if I do, I’ve long forgotten it, so I say, yeah no yeah fuck, and the computer says, no problem.”
