Every so often I forget how mad I am at the world, and I write a nice, cozy little piece of flash fiction. "Bug Man" is one of those, and it was published over the summer by @littlefruitsmag.bsky.social

I curled into a comfortable position and pressed my body against hers; perhaps the warmth and comfort could transfer and begin to heal the sickness."

Kitchen tile backsplash with alternating images of fruit "She dropped the ax and picked the apricot back up. She took a large bite. There was peach there, yes, but there was also plum. A firmness. Acidity. The flesh was holding against her until it couldn't." How to Describe an Apricot
