Drowned טבוע
Notes from Guest Reader Ilana Masad
‘Drowned’ is a prime example of how flash fiction can tell a story with a past, present, and future all bundled into a small space. There is such a sense of both history and character here, and the writing itself is glorious.

In its third year, The March Micro Marathon will be, as usual, a prompt-a-day whirlwind for 24 days. You’ll exchange drafts of micro fiction, non-fiction, and prose poetry in small groups and gather for a series of online events (all recorded for participants unable to attend live). We’ll finish with 3 competitions, and participants who are not already in SmokeLong Fitness will be invited to workshop with SmokeLong Fitness until the end of April!
