@mrbullbull.bsky.social"Through our whispers we argued that the internet might do some good: think of the ease with which you could communicate; think of the ease with which you could learn something, better yourself. Of course, we used it for porn." - Joseph Conrad Payne mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"What caused that first detonation? It was an event (which isn’t the right word) which didn’t prove fatal, not quite, but which made Willem aware that his sense of himself, of the inside, outside, could disintegrate in a flash." - Simon Firth mrbullbull.com/newbull/micr...

Bull has been a mag that I've read for years and been submitting to forever. I love the work they put out and I'm very grateful to have this story on their site.

@mrbullbull.bsky.social"I’m not a loser; my greatness has been in hibernation." - Robert Sumner mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"There was talk about how the corpse, back when it was a man named Steve, wasn’t particularly full of life. How he didn’t particularly light up a room when he entered it. In fact, no one ever noticed when he was in the room." - Joseph Linscott mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...
@mattleibel.bsky.socialReposted by @mrbullbull.bsky.socialNew how to story from my “Strange Instructions” series up at @mrbullbull.bsky.social. Thanks to @thedrevlow.bsky.social
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"Everyone was recording the man floating in the water. When this was over, they’d be forced to see their filming had only created the most bizarre public porno anyone had ever seen: Homeless Bull Finishes Himself in Front of Thirsty Crowd at Local Park." - DJ Garcia mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"You could willfully misread the assignment & become a butter man: sit patiently & hold your head still while your sculpted likeness is brought to pale unpasteurized life at the Minnesota State Fair. But... is that who you really want to be?" @mattleibel.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/micr...
@kylejoseph.bsky.socialReposted by @mrbullbull.bsky.socialThis is my story! Thanks to Bull Lit for championing this. It's actually a small section of the novel that I'm currently shopping to agents. Give it a read.
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"At the sink, Devin shoveled week-old pink unicorn cake into his mouth with a toddler’s spoon. Treacly sweet, it nuked his taste buds, leaving a pudding-like mouthfeel. It was terrible. He took another bite." - Kyle Joseph Kennedy mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...
@margaretcahillbsky.bsky.socialReposted by @mrbullbull.bsky.socialMy first published story set in #LimerickCity had to feature Georgian Limerick.
I love the quiet, steady pacing of this story, as Oskar navigates the city, forever a stranger in his new home but no longer belonging to where he came from either.
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"No one at the garage cares who he is. He’s simply Oskar, who does oil changes, checks spark plugs, changes bulbs and belts, all the jobs the real mechanics don’t want to bother with. They don’t know, or care to know, where Slovenia is." @margaretcahillbsky.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"Her hands on her hips and thrust forward like that. Of course I loved her. And I didn't too. Maybe it was envy. It was hard to tell the difference that night." - Eric Potter @ericpotter.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"White water fell through the gap. Chunks of the dam swirled in dirty foam and whirled downriver. Before long the water above and below the dam was calm and level. After a while it was like there had never been anything there at all." @thmsbrns.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/fict...
@frank212.bsky.socialReposted by @mrbullbull.bsky.socialIssue #14 of my column MOANS FROM THE CONDIMENT FRIDGE @mrbullbull.bsky.social , titled DOUBLE FEATURE
This issue is about the drive-in I went to with my father, why decades later I didn't attend his funeral. It's old movies and complicated relationships

@mrbullbull.bsky.social"I chose to remember my father for who he truly was: a thief; a grifter; a veteran of the Vietnam War, but also, a lover of books; music; and movies." @frank212.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/moan...
@mrbullbull.bsky.social"It’s so cute when she tries to saw me in half. The way her arms wobble holding that vigorous blade longer than her body, her glee at that first cut, how she laughs at my screams when she finally hits bone." @benjaminstarr.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/micr...
