Our first highlight from the feline flash issue 🦝

We loved the way the cat is used as a protector in J.R.s speculative feline-POV piece. The language is lyrical and lush and the unfolding story is full of tension and raw emotion.

It was nigh on impossible to choose only 5! 🦝
3 of these are from August's prompted stories - which were all that good.
Good luck to all our nominated authors and their stunning stories (links to online pubs in thread) 💜

Just imagined what would happen if every UK bookshop eventually became a Waterstones & one day a government said that certain books shouldn't be sold.
