@slashnburnett.bsky.socialReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialOut today in @flashfictiononline.bsky.social, two short stories, equally heartbreaking.
You're welcome.
@flashfictiononline.bsky.socialWe open October’s issue with “A Face Slipped Off Its Skull” by Ashlee Lhamon, a horror story that has a dash or two of Graham Greene’s spy novels added in. You don’t want to miss a drop!

@yelenacrane.bsky.socialReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialSo many fantastic stories in this issue. I am especially obsessed with @parkeriswriting.bsky.social 's flash "right here, on this spot" and how exploring the past of one place serves as an exploration of self.
@mynachang.bsky.socialReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialThis special issue introduction from @prof-bogs.bsky.social is riveting, so I'm eager to read the whole issue!

@lucidillusions.inReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialThis is such an amazing story! Great work @hannyakay.bsky.social 🎉
@jomiles.bsky.socialReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialA flash reprint for you! How far would you go to disconnect, if disconnecting was illegal? A reminder to look up from your device and breathe. This goes on my list of "sadly more relevant than when I wrote it" stories. I suggest: give it a read, then go take a walk outside--without your phone.
@flashfictiononline.bsky.socialOur second RESIST reprint release this week is “Your Guide to the Ever-Shrinking Solitude on Planet Earth” by Jo Miles:
What if your participation is mandatory?
“Solitude still exists. I know, because I’ve found it”

@hannyakay.bsky.socialReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialI'm so emotional that this story is out now, in the wonderful Tiny Gods issue of FFO. So many amazing stories, so many great authors. Read, cheer, share, subscribe. FFO is a wonderful place to lose yourself in, for a few minutes or many, many hours. I'm honored to join them on their journey ❤️
@flashfictiononline.bsky.social“Love is a friend that won’t let you die alone” 😭 A beautiful piece by Hannya Kay: “One God Loved Me As I Died” is an appropriate closing story for our TINY GODS issue

@wordrat.bsky.socialReposted by @flashfictiononline.bsky.socialI think it’s important to note the role that horror plays in #resistance. Our reactions stem from our deepest fears as well as love. When you see those fears play out before your very eyes, how will you respond?
Kudos to @jennifleck.bsky.social for a horrifyingly human tale!
