Our last spotlight of the current issue - a delicious double from the talented @joycebingham.bsky.social 🦝 The Lady in Waiting We loved the simmering tension here, the upending of known characters, the way the prompts are intrinsic to story. Read and listen: trashcatlit.com/the-lady-in-... 1/2

I don't care if writing doesn't save me from anything else. It saves me from myself.

So many brilliant writers! 🎉🎉🎉

"The daughter tries to speak but cannot make a sound: her mouth is a cave, wet and cold and full of bats..." New on hex today, @cpasko.bsky.social's "The Wind Cave," an expansive shortie that feels both ancient and fresh! 👇🦇👇

Today's contributor spotlight is for @keithwoodruff.bsky.social and his beautiful character, Cow🦝 We loved the emotional heft that came from this two-character piece, how tender and unexpected it was given the prompts, and the note of hope at the end. Read trashcatlit.com/the-light-is... 1/2

I have a day off, and I'm supposed to be doing my own writing work this morning. Instead I've spent the last two hours reading new flash pieces and posting about them. This is still a great use of my time... I feel so inspired now! Look at all the fabulous work all these flash writers are doing!!
