If you haven't checked it out already have a read of the "Hate Baby" by the very talented Jaime Gill. That ending line is a real kicker, but the story from start to finish is a great read.

I live in New Zealand crafting stories in my spare time (what's that?). I'm new to this whole Bluesky thing, so go easy on me, I'm technically "old folk" status. https://www.annewilkinsauthor.com/ https://www.facebook.com/annewilkinsauthor

I just wanted to say I read your story earlier today β and it's still with me. Very raw, gutsy, heart wrenching, powerful. There's words and situations in there that will stick with me. Fantastic.

Soothsayer for the 21st Century by Aggie Novak You come to meβ (fabric draped, costume jewelled, incense clouded). You ask me real questions, but you donβt seek real answers. You wantβ Comfort. Platitudes. Itβs not your fault, there was nothing you could do. Tell me, you askβ What the future holds. Where I will be in 20 years. How successful. How loved. How normal. I draw the cardsβ The Star, reversed. All hope gutters out. The Tower. Cities, fire in their bones. The World, reversed. The circle breaks. Well? Your eyes wide, full ofβ Hope, I say. New constellations. Collapse clears the way. The world resets. @augursociety #augurmicros2025
Excited to share my piece for Augur's micro fiction contest!
