Extremely excited to have a flash piece in the third anniversary issue of manywor(l)ds. It’s about Mothman which by definition means it’s also about grief. Long live the Almost-Bug. manyworlds.place/issue-13/

This is a novella or short novel that is especially hard to "pitch" to people. I think if you enjoy surrealism/absurdism, post-apocalyptic stories, picaresque "well, that was just a bunch of stuff that happened!" plots, ambiguity, open endings, & introspection, you'll likely get something out of it.
