Capsule Stories

Unfortunately, Capsule Stories will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future, and we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Lost in Translation edition.

Selected pieces are: Virginia Laurie's “Tuesday, Taking on Water,” published in Capsule Stories Spring 2022 Edition: Into the Light @amedinawrites's “Wishing We Were Anywhere but the High School Swimming Pool,” published in Capsule Stories Summer 2022 Edition: Swimming

🎉 Capsule Stories had not one but TWO pieces selected for the #BestSmallFictions 2023 anthology. 🎉 Congrats to Virginia Laurie and @amedinawrites for their inclusion!!! You can buy a copy of the BSF anthology and see the other selections here: altcurrentpress.com/2023/12/08/bes…

Thank you to everyone who has submitted over the years, the wonderful writers we’ve published, and the amazing team of readers who have made Capsule Stories so amazing! We hope to be back someday to bring you more beautiful writing. For now, we'll be in hibernation. 😴

—“[swan song]” by Katelyn Grimes, published in Capsule Stories Winter 2022 Edition: Hibernation. These stories and poems ruminate on hunkering down for the winter and resting. Buy it in paperback and ebook here: capsulestories.com/winter-2022-ed…

today’s forecast called for snow, a prediction indifferent to the calendar’s early border for spring, as well as to my own personal feelings on the matter. winter has these silences hidden between the refrains of wind pushing past pine, through buildings, rattling windows & bones
