I stopped writing flash for a few years while I worked on a longer project. I started again because it feels like coming home. I’m thrilled to have a story at @flashfrog.bsky.social Thanks @ericscottryon.bsky.social for choosing it and Alaina Hammond for the great art! flash-frog.com/2025/06/02/c...
