This is one of our early bangers — and wild to be seeing it just now, on the release day of Katrina’s debut collection from Cornerstone Books!
@smokelong.bsky.social Archive Challenge day 5. I love this quiet moment of happiness in “Soap” from Katrina Denza from 2008 in Wigleaf.

Oh my heart this story by @wendyoleson.bsky.social ! The contrast between the child’s gentle, innocent perspective and the violence/danger in the story works so well. Very powerful piece. I don’t want to give too much away. But read it!
