Bending Genres Issue 28 | Flash Fiction

·

How lucky can I be? Bending Genres included a flash, Sister Story, which I wrote in my twenties called Sister Story in issue 28. This is a difficult piece about how secrets get buried in marriage, stories, and language itself.

I’m very grateful to Meg Tuite, David O’Connor, Robert Vaughan, and the rest of the Bending Genres staff. This issue includes a bunch of writers including:

Andrew Maynard
Lindsey Pharr
Maria Poulatha
Brad Rose
Joe Kapitan
Tina Barry
Keith Powell
Chelsea Stickle
and others. . . .
