Thank-you Litro editor Catherine McNamara for featuring "Flowers Are Often Rooted in Dull Soil" in Litro this week! www.litromagazine.com/flashfriday/...

It will never not be amazing when the exact right word appears in a story draft and thus rearranges your understanding of the material by its presence. One of the moments of surprise and awe I’m always writing toward, but also almost impossible to force.

This week's miCRo is THREE flash essays, our first triple-feature, by @joekap64.bsky.social. Spanish moss, a herd of AR-15s, and gospel music all help build a complicated picture of the south.

"Mold Culture" by @gabriellegriffis.bsky.social in @flashfrog.bsky.social Brilliant! "She decided to culture the house and preserve the mold that grew in her petri dishes, anticipating blooms of fuzzy pink and blue colonies. She wanted to see the microorganisms that were digesting her childhood."

Thank you, Flash Boulevard editor @francinewitte.bsky.social for featuring these three flash fiction pieces in FB's latest issue. flashboulevard.wordpress.com/blog/
