Microfiction out today in “101 Words.” This is my first published piece in over a decade, y’all. I don’t think I’ll ever truly get over the feeling of being a fraud when it comes to writing, but it’s nice every now and then to see some of my words on a page. #writersky #microfiction #101words

Climb me you dirty fuck-puffin.

“I see a churning clump of ghost children. They are drifting straight for me, all kelped together, an eyeless panic of legs and feet and hair.”

I was going to pick some favorite lines of prose from ZZ Packer’s “Drinking Coffee Elsewhere” but my favorite lines are actually the whole thing. #writersky #prose

And the same girl, many years later, in her 50s: "Jane confessed that she had always felt as if she were on the wrong side of a barrier, cutting her off from the real life she was meant to be living."

"An Abduction" by Tessa Hadley offers this apt description of a 15-year-old girl: "Jane was listless, her mind a blank with vivid little jets of dissatisfaction firing off in it."

And: "After she hangs up she paces the floor. She's crackling inside, like hot fat under the broiler."
