βοΈTotally over the moon with an acceptance today! It came about when the editor of the dream journal got back to me to say they liked it but it needed to be clearer in parts. He added this was not a promise of publication.
Reader, it turned into a much better story as a result. I DID IT!

At 3AM, November 17, 1973, "The Colonels" sent a tank crashing through the gates of the Athens Polytechnic. It had been occupied by students protesting the fascist junta. Dozens died, mostly teens, 20s and one boy of 5. Over 2,000 were injured.
The protests it sparked brought down the dictatorship.
Wow, beyond thrilled! Thank you, @matchbooklitmag.bsky.social
Thank you, @welkinprize.bsky.social and @mattkendrick.bsky.social for this honour!

Wow. Such a creative & unique piece from @noranadj.bsky.social. Love how each room contains a memory, how the memories string together into a life:
