It’s that time again: here’s some very short nonfiction that’ll only take a minute to read but that will make you feel something.
“Connie was albino, exceptionally white even by the ultra-Caucasian standards of our southern suburb. Only her eyelids had color: mouse-nose pink, framed by moth-white lashes and brows.” — At Brevity, “White Lies” by Erin Murphy.
“Had God not become an extremist, tipping the scales, there would still exist today an equiponderant balance between what you might consider good and evil.” — At elimae, “Jesus was Cute” by Kim Teeple.
“I shared my first kiss with two boys, best friends.” At Eclectica, “Kissing in Tandem” by Valerie Fioravanti.
“On each day she was supposed to write a reason to live.” At The Collagist, “Light” by Michael Palmer.
I’m always looking for journals with a web presence that publish excellent flash nonfiction. If you know of any good sites I might be missing, put a note in the comments section or send me an email.
