- "[This story is based on] the aftermath of my father-in-law’s death. Though the rituals were performed for thirteen days, the tenth day was very emotional. That was when we said a final good-bye to the departed soul. That night my mother-in-law was made to sleep alone." Vijayalakshmi Sridhar #NFFR
- "I have a very strange brain that associates everything back to numbers. Numbers are immensely soothing to me as a person who grew up with a bewildering sensory, emotional and interpersonal world. Numbers never trip you up, they never do anything unexpected." @pleomorphic2.bsky.social #NFFR
- "A few months ago my toddler pointed to her closet and told us there were ghosts in there. When you’re a new parent, you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to decode your child's statements. With this story, I tried my best to cast this fleeting moment in plaster." Andrew Martin #NFFR

- "For flash fiction, there’s a messy, resonant moment that usually comes to mind as inspiration. With such a tight word count, the tension has to be created from the first sentence, sustained through the slice of story, and end with an ambiguity that isn’t too frustrating." Elana Lavine #NFFR
- "In the US there have been attempts to censor everything, including the weather, and I was looking at the website for NOAA, one of the federal agencies under attack, and came across a list of meteorological terms, and that gave me the shape for the final story." @writesofkathryn.bsky.social #NFFR
- "Despite my difficulty with numbers, I find them comforting. My first son was born early and had to gain weight to catch up. Recently, I found the log of times I’d fed him and how much he’d had. The numbers would just float away if I didn’t write them down immediately." Rebecca Klassen #NFFR
