In this flash fiction story, I incorporated magical realism with my love of winter as I wondered what it would be like to live inside a snow globe.

This piece was inspired by three items I saw around my room: a necklace, a model typewriter, and a picture of a dollhouse from an album cover, which I then incorporated into a story.

A woman, unhappy in her marriage, rants about all the ways her husband has wronged her. Although she starts off as unlikeable, her sharp wit and humour makes her a character you can’t help but root for.

I saw the line “the vast, ruthless sea” in a book, and it struck me as a powerful opening for a short story. I wanted to explore the idea of a large body of water and phobias, paired with the psychological unease that arises from the dynamics between certain archetypes of men and women.

An unsettling short story about a woman who is reunited with a captivating figure from her past. As she meticulously prepares for the encounter, the familiar yet eerie presence of her guest unsettles her. What begins as a simple tea gathering quickly spirals into something much darker, exploring the allure and dread of an eternal bond that leaves her forever changed.

"A Quiet Goodbye" is a touching story about a young girl who experiences the pain of losing her sister during a heavy winter snowfall. As her sister's strength fades, she reflects on joyful memories and the gradual decline of someone she deeply loves. The story delicately captures the sorrow of loss and the quiet dignity in a loved one's final moments.

I was curled up with my cat under a fuzzy blanket on a blustery Autumn evening when I came up with the idea for this flash. I've always loved stories written from the perspective of animal companions (especially feline ones!) and felt inspired to try it myself here. This is an ode to the travesties inflicted upon ‘witchy’ women of the past, and of the enduring love between them and their ever-faithful ‘familiars.’
