‘Things were scary enough already–war, racism, global warming, a Scrubs remake…’

Love the humour in this one from @emilyrinkema.bsky.social in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social, but even more so I love the truth of it all. 🐓

Killing the Flame - Gooseberry Pie Lit Magazine by Jeff Friedman The fire surrounds you, but no matter how desperately you seek to put it out, stamping on it, burying it in dust, throwing buckets of water down its maw, it still keeps burning.  You can’t remember how or when it started—and perhaps it has always surrounded you, but until now, you’ve chosen to […]

‘Soon you are the fire inside the fire.’

Chris, you are fast-becoming one of my favourite flash fiction writers! This is amazing 👏

Just back on BlueSky after a few days in deep shock after hearing the very sad news about the death of John Brantingham.
He did did an immense amount for Bath Flash Fiction and the @flashficfestuk.bsky.social since 2018. We will miss him so much & will be posting more soon on the website

What sad news, I’m so sorry to hear this.

Will definitely be attending one, just haven’t got round to booking yet 😊 Torn between ‘The Humorous Touch’ and ‘Stand-out Oddities’ 👍

There’s a reason I try to read everything James writes.

Read this! Now!

Thank you, Lori! 🌿

Two whole stories is great! 🌟 I didn’t write much last year, but this year has started off strongly and, most importantly, I’m just really enjoying getting lost in my new little worlds 🙃

“Welkin me up!” 😇

I can only apologise for taking so long to write my little stories 😂 Thank you so much, Jack! 🌼

Love this tiny perfect piece! Well done, James! @jamesmontgomery.bsky.social! @100wordstory.bsky.social 👏👏

Where it leads - 100Words James MontgomeryFor years, doctors shone torches, scientists ordered scans, the child sitting patiently throughout, occasionally lifting his palm from his forehead with a tiny suction-cup pop.

“And, in time, the man—weighed down, closed off—will wonder where it might’ve led.”
