The Bright Jars of Our Bodies by Sara Hills When we run out of nice things to say to each other, Gil and I watch TV like we’re each just a brain in a jar, sitting side by side. Except instead of brains we’re hearts. And by hearts, I mean sex…

I didn’t get a story submitted this year but there’s still time if you’ve got one. Frogtober is pretty much my favorite lit mag issue of the year. It’s consistently amazing and such a delightful change of pace. I look forward to it every autumn.

Shoot your shot! 🐸 πŸ€ πŸ‘»

I say, Yeah, but cancer, because that’s all I can think to add. Then I remember cancer is a constellation, so I squint at the stars some more, but all I see is a mess of white dots, blinking and unblinking. Gorgeous @sarahillswrites.bsky.social @flashfrog.bsky.social
