Packing a whole lot into an itty bitty space is the name of the game for flash fiction. Our stories and poems still pack a big emotional punch, though! Subscribing means you get these delightful snack-size stories and poems right in your inbox. Let's go!
We're doing quarterly subscription drives now! Which means that the memes will continue until m̶o̶r̶a̶l̶e̶ subscriber numbers improve. Ok, or until the first of next month when we release a new issue. But you should still subscribe today!
Where does your subscription money go? Straight to making the best magazine we can, supporting artists & authors! (That 8% bank & transaction fee thing is why we're not PayPal's biggest fans.)

Our first piece this month is "Imagine Yourself Happy" by @premeesaurus@wandering.shop! Are you ready for a little bit of science and heartbreak this Monday morning?

It's a lingering question with portal fantasies: what about those left behind? "What Are We If I Stay" by K.S. Walker is a quiet, thoughtful exploration of this idea, and has an ending that will knock your socks off.
