Flash Fiction chosen by Brandon Salkil.
“The Alabaster Princess” by Greg Hunt via Flash Fiction Magazine
The combination of numbers and words as a means of portraying obsession is excellently executed. It’s maniacally charming and provokes you to read it again and again just to see how wonderful the two aid each other.
“Daisy” by Paul DesCombaz via Flash Fiction Online
A very morbid and surreal nightmare in the works here. A dreaded sense of paranoia will sweep in and lock you away in the basement with the main character; only to be haunted by the voice of Daisy.
“ Hanged Man” by Amit Majmudar via Word Riot
Here, is a playful, yet suspenseful little tale involving a game we are all familiar with. As I was reading this, I couldn’t help but feel as if I were going to be hanged as each guess of a letter sends wonderful sensations of fear and excitement. A beautiful use of imagery.
“Bats in the Attic” by Dana Mele via Lunch Ticket
This is a story that brings heartache through a mesmerizing portrayal of what I feel is loss and depression. I sympathize with the character and feel cautious as well. There’s such a rich and deep layer to this story that I feel it allows one to interpret more than what’s given to them.
