Venomous BORE.
Big thank you to @doesithavepockets.bsky.social for putting my story in the March issue! It's about a guy terrified of jumping out of a plane and his tandem jump instructor who is having some sort of emotional breakdown. Wheeeee! www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/mich...
Happy Purim! Don't be Haman!
Thank you so much for reading!!
Yeah this is the best thing I've read online in a minute.
Sharing this after reading the first paragraph, a paragraph which is absolutely worth your time.
