"Fingertips snag on a ripped seam, and he pushes until stitches release and the shark’s insides fall apart just like the silvery body of the trout his dad cleaned when the three of them camped by the lake before everything changed." Superb work! @dawnwriter.bsky.social @westtradereview.bsky.social

Excited to share this. My feather of a story is in one of my fave journals.
"She turns herself upright but otherwise remains still, like she’s choosing whether to give up or go on. It takes a moment to regain your bearings when you survive."

When the moms and dads come to the door, the dads say, You look just like your mother. The moms whisper to the dads, Yeah, like trash.

Wow! Fantastic story by @marioaliberto3.bsky.social in House of Arcanum!
@bradymicheller.bsky.social put a lot of editorial love for these stories in the latest House of Arcanum! Check out "Every Day is Halloween" for Mandy's story.
