Louisa Prince is very talented. Her tale gives us stunning imagery and a striking plot. I had to read it twice to make sure I understood it. Hits all the bases for a flash I love. Thanks Louisa!

Sometimes a simple act of compassion can make all the difference in a person's personal hell. Thank you, @jmorelli1230.bsky.social

Don’t do it, narrator! There’s more to life than work :( thank you, @rachelmhollis.bsky.social

Justin Nicholes's tale is riveting, laden with symbolism and imagery. It says what it needs to without overstaying its welcome. Thank you Justin, this is everything a flash story should be.

Author Patrick Siniscalchi is so talented, he made me feel nostalgic for an era that isn't mine and has already been done to death. Well done, Patrick, this is impressive.

This is one of my favorite recent pieces. I'm happy author @patrickrossmfa.bsky.social submitted it. Stories like this are the reason I keep doing this.

Keith Parker's story of grit in the face of war and hardship is brilliant, and Suddenly And Without Warning is proud to host it. Thank you, Keith! www.suddenlyandwithoutwarning.com/the-last-cro...

In the Early Morning – Suddenly, And Without Warning You enter my bedroom in the early morning and, as usual, I pretend to sleep. Fear sips through my peach-colored sheets, even though I know I shouldn’t be afraid of you. You’re my dad and I know that you love me, that you would never harm me. Not intentionally at least.

Here's a sweet and sad moment between a daughter and her erstwhile father. Thank you, @rsnelsonwriter.bsky.social

Bit of humor for you here on this Thursday night (you'll probably see this Friday, unless you're up doom-scrolling - GO TO BED!).

Thanks Lois Hibbert for their tale, Identified Flying Object. Seems you have a few fans!

In other words, if you've had a story published, come back every now and again to see if you've gotten that magical ~*engagement*~ to tickle your dopamine receptors.

BTW, double thank you to those who take the time to read/leave comments on stories. I know the authors are thrilled for the feedback. The comments may not show up immediately because they're screened, but I review/approve them as I publish the stories.

MY FRIENDS

I have been a neglectful publisher and curator. Sorry for taking a couple weeks to get back to some of you. Not to mention, we have a wonderful backlog of flashes that I published, but my ADHD couldn't be arsed to plug. So let's play catch up, shall we?

Tonight's charming story comes from Jenny Morelli. Thanks Jenny, this is lovely. www.suddenlyandwithoutwarning.com/the-elevator...
