Including my apocalypse poem, "And a pocket full of posies" 🥀
Cover for issue 7, Spring 2026, of Trollbreath Magazine. The background art by Aimee Cozza shows a slim figure in a white astronaut suit. They are floating, but the are dramatically arched back as though some violent force has taken them. From the back of their helmet, a black swirl of planets and nebulae spews out and spreads wide.

"there’s a name for this—
suicide, hibernation, runaway.
bad daughter, goth wife,
crafty, avoidant, irresponsible
to throw ice over everything,
trade green for arctic gray.
but I am not my mother.
I never was."

"But let’s say your objective is to Write Something Now. You’ve consulted your notes and story seeds without success. You’ve knocked at the muse’s door, but she appears to be out on another errand. It seems it’s time for some ekphrastic magic."

Is the best part about my book the cover? I shouldn’t say yes…but I also can’t say no 🩵
Read it to find out if the story lives up to @carlydraws.bsky.social’s art!!
Details! maybe this one, with many, many mushrooms. Dense detail in the front, fading to glowing particles and fiery skies at back. Why? read it & find out! :-)

I often see posts saying name an author who you've read 5 books by.
I'm interested in short stories. So how about, name an author you've read 3 short stories by?
Also, the stories have to be published in the last 10 years.
Also, don't say me. 😂
