After a long time of waiting and thanks to the great dedication of the editors, my short story “Dysmorphia” about a trans girl who wishes to become an ant is seeing publication on Vol 3 of EB Magazine 🖤 You may catch a copy with 37 contributions from authors new and established (Link in bio) 🤍

The cover of Exposed Bone Vol. III. I’m honestly not sure what I’m seeing, it almost looks like a tree, but it’s got these eye-like holes throughout. I don’t know, but it’s cool!

(1/4) This edition has taken significantly longer to produce than either of us ever intended. The past year has been a whirlwind of personal setbacks, and we didn't want to sacrifice the quality of the edition because of our circumstances. These pieces deserve our utmost care.
