“Where are the rest?”

The soldier’s eyes are vacant. “She said... She said every other woman here is a witch! That when we die, flowers will grow…”

His platoon shambles bloody from the woods. Fresh corpses sprouting sunflowers level guns at their praporshchik as he screams.

“No old hippy is stopping this clearcut!”

She levels a log at the lumberjacks like a minigun. “I will protect this sacred forest.”

“Like the Lorax?” the foreman sneers.

A torrent of mud from her enchanted stump blasts him backwards. “Well, I do speak for the trees!”

Proud to have a poem in the new issue of #scifansat

My fellow writers and readers of the cleverest SFF in each month’s #SciFanSat:

I’m impressed how a single prompt word can inspire so many intriguing worlds, and the characters and their stories that bring those worlds to life!

I hope my five-haiku sequence inspires along with so many great pieces.

So pleased my #scifi #poem "The Spiral Beyond the Beyond" has been included in the latest issue of @scifansat.bsky.social alongside such amazing contributors. Please give them all a read! 🙌

Huge gratitude and thanks to @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social and team 🕊️🌀💫

#scifansat

So psyched that my #scifi micro "Buried Truth" is in this freshly-published issue, along with lots of other great stuff! ✨️🎉

A poetic 'Atro'City' of visiting some chaotic silence or noises will only lead to windy streets caused by a deep box grown as forever illusions.

Fear not my friends, you'll disappear too in further pages far more complex than my poetry.

This month's #scifansat is OUT NOW, check it out and get ready to twist your mind. In my latest piece, 'Another Turn of the Spiral', I'm channelling my inner @aptshadow.bsky.social. As always, feeling grateful to @jason-h-abbott.bsky.social and the whole team. Thank you🙏

My flash science fiction piece 'Spiralling Down', a cautionary tale, is up today at @scifansat.bsky.social! Contrary to popular belief, you should always look a gift horse in the mouth...

scifansat.com/bibi/?book=S...

You are so welcome, Lynn! Great story; you earned that nomination!

From the staff of #SciFanSat and the alumni who voted for their favorite #SFF authors in the February poll, we congratulate @lynnpeyo.bsky.social who earned a 2026 Bartleby B. Boar Nomination for their short story, “The Thrum”!

Ready to spiral?
I did not submit this round but something’s cooking for the next 🫢
Let’s spiral for now 💜

I also just got notified that The Thrum from the previous issue got nominated by my peers and I’ve been screeching like a pterodactyl and don’t know whom to thank🥲🤣🙏🏼my gosh
