Flash Fiction chosen by Kevlin Henney

“Sometimes” by K L Gillespie via Dr. Hurley’s Snake-Oil Cure

One of the joys of flash fiction is the ability to play with a simple conceit and do something both original and off piste that simply couldn’t be sustained over a longer form. This story does just this, starting from the opening ‘Sometimes I lose my mind’ and running with it.

“Birthday Child” by Caroline M Yoachim via Daily Science Fiction

From one point of view this is a story of infertility and artificial children. From another, it arranges metaphors deeply and with surrealism. This is the kind of speculative fiction that is binocular: it is both points of view at once.

“Lolita’s Lynch Mob” by Sarah Hilary via Every Day Fiction

This story involves that staple of the writing world, the reading group, but with a wonderful, speculative twist that nudges it in the direction of metafiction, a nudge that retains the ordinariness of the characters and is done with great humour.

“Copy Machine” by Shane Halbach via Flash Fiction Online

This story takes a literal premise and unfolds it into a narrative that is absurd and logical and self-contained. It also carries its narrative in first and second person, which fits perfectly with the absurdity, logic, self-containedness.
