"The seam along her spine trembles faintly, then opens a little wider than before. The interior is dark, yes, but not empty. There is a faint gurgle inside, fleshy and wet." From "Lifelong Denial of Clam Disorder," new fiction by @ksommerberg.bsky.social. 🐚 buff.ly/mOmIabO

The thematic climax and the emotional climax do not need to be the same scene. But you do need both. Whether they happen simultaneously or apart is up to you and the story.

New short story out! 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀 ”Plague of Plenty” is about one fevered night in a rat colony’s sewer. At its heart, Nix's story is about the loneliness of principled survival—the cost of saying no when every force around you promises faster pleasure and easier belonging.

Every alicorn refuses to be drawn from memory. Each sketch burns a little truth away.

Death Race 2000 feels like it was made this year. The political satire transcends humor and becomes catharsis. I wanted to cry, but I could only laugh. (And I'll study the character's arcs for my own fiction writing.)

They say pegasi can't fly in the rain. They say that bug was patched in the alicorn model. But, occasionally, I see an unlicensed pegasus gliding in a thunderstorm.

A unicorn weeps when near lithium. Pegasi molt feathers of data. Lithium is crystalized bones of the First Horses.

Katlina Sommerberg @ksommerberg.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

They say unicorn blood stabilizes dreams. No one’s been sober since. It wasn't supposed to be this way. We were meant to feel the pain of our dreams. To want something so bad we chased our desires. I don't like what I am becoming. I want to dream. I'll suffer the nightmares.

In the wet labs beneath Olympus, the alicorn prototypes still beat their wings.

The alicorn is not born—it is manufactured from expectations, needlework, and misplaced hope. If you are a woman grieving the loss of girlhood innocence, submit your resume to our factory foreman.

Outside, a dog barks at a flock of gossiping parakeets. That is a metaphor about control.
