"hey everybody’s doing it just let us shove this camera thingy down your throat don’t let your hands reach up to stop it"
Feel like this from @lumchanmfa.bsky.social will be read differently by those who've experienced a gastroscopy and those who haven't:

"We Don’t Meet in Buda like we planned, on the right side of the river where the lift took us up to the top of Gellért Hill"
Brilliant sense of place in this fantastic piece from @kelliborges2.bsky.social in @centaurlit.bsky.social, a breathless paragraph that builds and builds
"The thing about trauma is that it repeats. In a world of lines, it’s a whorl"
Powerful, resonant writing from @kimmagowan.bsky.social in @centaurlit.bsky.social - a micro that packs a punch
"The widow’s eyes changed color like a chameleon, depending on her moods and what she wore"
Such a multi-layered piece from @megpokrass.bsky.social in @centaurlit.bsky.social; great sense of narrative and character focus:
