    gonna start sending out acceptances saying, "while we found much to admire about your work, we ultimately decided we'd like to publish it," and see how long it takes to lose all our followers

    this nonfiction flash is poetic and dense. amy barnes (@amygcb) killed it. from the first line, “a car the size of a house rams our house the size of a house,” i was hooked. the lives and metal of a cul-de-sac fold in on itself in “divorced” xraylitmag.com/divorced-by-am…
