@vastchasmmag.bsky.socialReposted by @vestalreview.bsky.socialIf @salenacasha.bsky.social's flash fiction in our last issue left you with a loss for words, "She Tells Herself that Somewhere, Someone Else Will Build It Anyway" @vestalreview.bsky.social just might leave you speechless.

A shocking act cushioned in the innocence of first love.
John Salter's "In Vitro Veritas" in @vestalreview.bsky.social is one I will be thinking about uneasily.
