Arne Slot leaves the police station. His limp straightens out, and he walks in long strides, unzipping his jacket to reveal Phil Foden jersey. Chazz Palmentieri drops coffee mug, realizes Slot was Keyser Soze all along.

My flash fiction piece, MFA Ave, appeared in Meetinghouse, Dartmouth College's literary magazine.

It's available only in print, but I've added it to my website:
