Some men were covering the bodies with banana leaves. Others were taking pictures. There were so many bodies that Ria ran out of fingers before she could count them all. She counted up to twenty before she stopped.

His shirt glittering with holes, shorts cut off above his sunshine
knees, slippers with weary soles
scrolled over pedals, and his spine so upright
one could measure pyramids with it. @PandanWeekly

My grandfather doesn’t remember a day / when the mountains belonged to anyone but / the people. Another inflammatory debt to be washed / and hung to dry.

Thanks so much to @PandanWeekly @stephwritescnf, and @longleafreview for first publishing this flash 2 years ago!
Still one of my faves 💗
This week, read Andy Lopez’s flash fiction piece “Boba Talk.” It plays into the words for “milk tea” and an insult in her mother tongue “to exacerbate the vast divide language can create, in sometimes invisible, hurtful ways.” (@andylopezwrites)

"Where is home? One asks. What is diaspora identity? Are we part of the problem? She Googles: Colonization. Decolonization. Orientalism. Code-switching. English." An amazing story by @ysabellecheung cc @stephwritescnf @PandanWeekly 👍👍

Thanks to @PandanWeekly for taking me down memory lane and @JellyfishReview for originally publishing! One of the very first pieces I published after an almost decade long hiatus from writing, and still one of my favorites ❤️
This week’s featured work is Ysabelle Cheung’s seething story, “Ex / Re / Patriate.” Set in Hong Kong, the piece examines privilege in an expat’s life, written from an expat’s point of view. (@ysabellecheung)

Reading this piece came with a bonus: I now want to revisit Dominic Sy’s Some Quiet Conversation (in @aaww: aaww.org/some-quiet-conversa…).
This week, read “The Call of Cadiz,” a historical fiction piece about war, liberty, and madness. Set in the Philippine Isles in the early 1800s, the short story is a treat to fans of history, revolution, and anti-imperialism.

aaa this is so meaningful for me! many thanks to @stephwritescnf! putting my thoughts and feelings about this piece into words, and even reading the piece out loud was a form of catharsis i didn't even know i needed! Pandan and Stephanie are doing wonderful work, check them out!!
This week, check out Mugdhaa Ranade’s flash speculative essay, “Pitching A Scene To My Dad”—a cutting grief piece that longs for comfort, that asks questions left unanswered. (@swxchhxnd)
