- Reposted by Christina TudorThanks to @mattkendrick.bsky.social and his @welkinprize.bsky.social for making January a little less "pigsty" (see his latest newlestter) & a lot more inspirational. The comp is so well run and the quality of stories is mind-blowing. Thank you so much, Matt! www.mattkendrick.co.uk/welkin-stories

- Hello. Please meet our latest issue, Imprint. It’s unruly but good at heart. It has geese and god and Brian Wilson, yin-yang rats, crazy blue, absentia, a screaming need to yell ‘RUN!’, cyanide rum, praying mantis, plural, a swallowed mirror, island breeze… templeinacity.com/explore-the-...
- While this is a work of fiction, it's inspired by things I found in my grandparents' house when it was put on the market. Please give it a read!

- I think I miscounted what day it is for the @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge so I'm doing a bonus round to be safe! "Trip-trapping" by @sarahillswrites.bsky.social in @nffr.bsky.social Every line of this story does heavy lifting. Read it here: newflashfiction.com/trip-trappin...
- Reposted by Christina Tudor[Not loaded yet]
- Day 13 of the @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge. "Junior Year Abroad" by Kathleen McGookey in @nffr.bsky.social: newflashfiction.com/kathleen-mcg... A narrator trying to make sense of the world and not quite getting it right. Beautiful moments and descriptions from top to bottom
- Reposted by Christina Tudor[Not loaded yet]
- Another surreal flash from @nffr.bsky.social for the @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge "Only a Skeleton" by Stephanie Devine: newflashfiction.com/stephanie-de... "I unzip my body, strip off my skin, and hang it over the back of a chair."
- Each vignette of this story could work as a standalone micro but they build on each other to show a mother feeling increasingly disconnected and alienated from her body.
- @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge Day 12 - this one has killer descriptions: newflashfiction.com/nod-ghosh-3/ "When she says ‘please’, you pretty her into indigo happiness, and then you drop her on the ground. Her bamboo legs unfold, her skirt splayed, displayed like an open orchid."
- Read "Marionette" by @nodghosh.bsky.social in @nffr.bsky.social
- Reposted by Christina Tudor[Not loaded yet]
- Day 11 of the @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge "Boilermaker" by JW Goll in @nffr.bsky.social and Best Small Fictions 2024: newflashfiction.com/boilermaker-... It's great place writing in just 4 paragraphs "Just breathing in this town should be called a boilermaker."

- Today's @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge piece is "When You’re Gone I Practice for When You’re Dead" by @rosaleenlynch.bsky.social: newflashfiction.com/when-youre-g... I love the title/opening line and the repetition of the narrator laying in the grass to show the emotion in the piece.
- Day 9 of the @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge. "Grandma" by L. Soviero is surprising, funny, and tender. So many of these stories in @nffr.bsky.social go in completely unexpected directions: newflashfiction.com/grandma-by-l...
- "She carried on calling everyone in class her perfect little darlings. Squeezed our cheeks and squint-smiled and said just that, what a perfect little darling, you are."
- Day 8 of @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge from the @wigleaf.bsky.social Top 50! @claudiamonpere.bsky.social's "After" This story is a heartbreaker from the first sentence but then it grows (literally, the garden grows) into something else entirely: newflashfiction.com/after-by-cla...
- I also love a flash where the title starts the first sentence! "The live children and the ghost ones plant pole beans, sugar snap peas, squash." @nffr.bsky.social

- Today's @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge piece from @nffr.bsky.social is "Salt" by Cecilia Wright which says so much in just three paragraphs. "She looks back and sees the place of her life and her inside of it." Read it here: newflashfiction.com/salt/
- Another @wigleaf.bsky.social Top 50 for the @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge! "Pet Shop" by @timcraig.bsky.social in @nffr.bsky.social "Dayne’s on-off-off-on stepdad, Kel, says stay away from that new pet shop." is a killer opening line: newflashfiction.com/pet-shop-boy...
- Had to do a @wigleaf.bsky.social top 50 story for today's @smokelong.bsky.social archive challenge! "Mom’s new boyfriend is a liver fluke" by @nomad-sw18.bsky.social! It says so much in so few words! newflashfiction.com/liver/
- "This flat worm sucks nutrients from our fridge, sprawls on the sofa, pink and leaf-shaped, fattening and excreting eggs while Mom lumps with worry."
