I also had a piece in … Continue reading National Flash Fiction Day
Flash: Ernst is coming home
Back in the day I dreamt of being published in New Flash Fiction Review - and now look! Inspired by an Eleanora Carrington painting which Anika Carpenter showed us in her always productive Flash Cabin generative workshop. https://newflashfiction.com/ernst-is-coming-home-by-jack-morris/

The Propelling Pencil – Second Place
My flash story Grief Is A Thing with Claws won second place in the Spring 2024 Propelling Pencil Charity Competition. You can read it and the other placed stories below.
