I also loved this piece by @fionamckay.bsky.social in @trashcatlit.bsky.social for reasons below. That, and it nails that (unfortunately familiar) high alert feeling. Great ending (I'd be more specific, but spoiler). ❤️
Two spotlights today featuring heroes 🦝
We loved @fionamckay.bsky.social's tense, relatable piece, the way it blurs realism and something uncanny, the way it makes us think.
Striking use of prompts: Broken Down Car, Soldier, Old Book

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

I'd be grateful if you can send links for flash stories where climate change plays a role. I'd like my students to write these kinds of stories for an assignment, but I don't have many models. Thanks!
