I haven't written any #microfiction in a long while. All my creativity recently has gone to my crafting instead. However, I did get one of my little tales published recently which I'd forgotten about. It's published by @ShortBeasts Read it here shortbeasts.com/micro-flash-… 😀

Reach – Short Beasts

Annalise kept reaching out: to old friends, ex-lovers, estranged family. Apologies, affections, invitations. Her arms stretched, elastic, aching; across cities

“Anyone who writes is a seeker. You look at a blank page and you’re seeking. The role is assigned to us and never removed. I think this is an unbelievable blessing. I mean, to be seventy-eight years old and still looking—this amazes me.” —Louise Glück buff.ly/47LSE9u

Louise Glück, The Art of Poetry No. 115

“Anyone who writes is a seeker. You look at a blank page and you’re seeking. That role is assigned to us and never removed.”
