“You dig too deep. Always. That’s the problem. You care like a chump. If only you could take a nap. If only this life allowed detectives to stop detecting now and again.”

“I am capable of nothing at all–the world is a confusing mess of sounds that I cannot separate out, itchy clothing that I am not allowed to take off, and everything about me–my skin, hair, name is wrong.”

One more share of my latest story at @tinymolecules.bsky.social:

"On Friday, May 12, 1972, sometime between 4:00 pm and midnight, Edna Plumgarten spontaneously combusted"

Wonderfully spooky flash fiction from @skoeplin.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Love the way this piece teeters on the edge of tension:

"I would have put her under a spell with crow bones and feathers, a long, deep sleep until she awakened in a world without phantom parents"

"Because you told the tarot reader you don’t want to leave your husband, you can’t leave so can she spin your fortune into something new"

Love this from @christinaltudor.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Great use of anaphora and 2nd person narration:

"Like the phrase I have something to tell you, it loosens stones when dropped from great heights"

Wonderful detective-noir edge to this gem from @woodardwriter.bsky.social @tinymolecules.bsky.social. Character layered with story layered with moments of truth:

"A boy sits on the low wall by the primary school watching the road for a yellow Citroën that doesn’t come. His teacher should have noticed he is out here all by himself..."

Oof. This micro about playing Two Truths & a Lie by @kimmagowan.bsky.social in @tinymolecules.bsky.social hits where it hurts.

"The Wi-Fi didn’t work. Not even the fake kind that shows up just to disappoint you."

OMG love the vibe of this story by @mallorysmart.bsky.social in @tinymolecules.bsky.social Reminds me of a series of photographs I took of a terrible motel. Review pending.
