"They know how to camouflage, to press hard into one another, to hide by being seen." "Sometimes she maps her bruises, the ones on her neck or her thighs, the ones she doesn't remember getting and the ones she does." Creeps by @JJLofflin in @Wigleaf wigleaf.com/202501creeps.h…

Our own ghosts whine, press forward. No, we tell them. Stay! we whisper-shout, but they’re already lunging across the scrubby verge toward the dirt and mud where the strays gather, circling now, swaying and eager. @JJLofflin in @CottonXenomorph

@ClaudiaMonpere @CottonXenomorph Thanks, Claudia!

"The fog of their breath lingers on the panes. Our own ghosts stare out the windows and whine until we yell at them to shut up." A stunner @JJLofflin @CottonXenomorph cottonxenomorph.com/journal/2024/1…

He’s her first ghost, has been with her since the blizzard of ’08, when she was living in Jackson Heights and almost became a ghost herself. Proving that even ghostly children need parents. @JJLofflin @CottonXenomorph

@CoreyFarrenkopf @ElectricLit Fantastic work! Congrats!

Sharing again for all my night friends!!! After 9 years of submitting stories to @ElectricLit, I finally got one published…and it’s about aliens :) electricliterature.com/awaiting-the-d…

I’m pig-sitting this weekend. My cats would desperately like to help.

Love the eerieness of "The Gleaming Room" by @Gina_MThayer in @hexliterary "The Gleaming Room has at times been described as a mouth, in that some visitors have slipped down its smooth throat and vanished." hexliterary.com

We finally got to see the northern lights!
