Every Monday I link to very short fiction I like that I hope you’ll like too:
“When we reach the street, the houses are dark, except for one—the grey one with the white trim, chain link fence, black oak tree.” — At Waccamaw, “A House Made of Stars” by Tawnysha Greene.
“On the street the air is fifty knives of cold. This is not Alaska. Why did we move here?” — At Fiction Southeast, “Winter” by Aimee Bender. (via)
“Throw your ego off the bus and let it get trampled in mud.” — At Blip, “Two Stories” by Frances Lefkowitz.
“Flood’s over, Noah! Time to dock the ark.” — At Abjective, “Hebe at the Bar” by Diana Pollin.
And if you want more and/or are very bored at work, Dan Chaon and Ravi Mangla have a list of the 2012 top fifty flash stories at Wigleaf. This is really a spectacular list.
