Fiction

Max words: 5000

Max pieces: 1

Short fiction. One short story up to 5,000 words OR up to two pieces of flash fiction (750 words or less) per author. As stated, we’re looking for stories that excite, that break the boundary between real and unreal. Experimentation and surreal ways of looking at the world we live in will be looked upon fondly. Horror, magic realism, speculative fiction and streams of consciousness are welcome – but they must be somewhat grounded in real life
