We knew it wouldn't work out when you told me you can see a person's whole backstory and future by looking into their eyes. "It's my superpower," you said. "Colours evoke feelings in me," I said. "That's my superpower. Then our eyes met. Yours were blue. So were mine. #vss365

I wanted to reboot my wardrobe. I found a switch and flicked it off then on. Then I realised... That wasn't my wardrobe. That was The Universe. Now I'm alone at the beginning of time, waiting for this shirt from 2003 to come into style 13.7 billion years from now. #vss365

I've not been writing much for a while now. The break's been nice, but I want to get back writing soon. For now, here's a selection of stuff I wrote when I was in my micro-writing pomp in 2018/19. Thanks @BulbCultCo for giving these a second home today - bulbculture.wixsite.com/my-s…

I worked in a warehouse with a man who dropped boxes. "This universe is in a box I didn't handle with care," he told me. "The stars are the shards inside." Often, I wonder how he's doing. I opened a package today. Constellations fell out. He's still doing God's work. #vss365

If you fancy reading a Halloween horror flash about a dead man climbing onto a boat, here's one I wrote in 2019. This was the first and only time I won a writing contest, which was very cool, thanks @MolotovLitZine! You can read 'Dead Man from the Ocean Floor' here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You always go on about the enormity of the universe, how we'll never grasp it. I used to find it interesting, but I get bored now. I stare into my palm as you talk about endless galaxies and light years. Then I grasp the air, and you and everything else disappears. #vss365

An alien told us not to stare at the Moon anymore. "It doesn't like it," said the alien. "That's why it's edging away from you." So we quit staring, just glanced. We glanced and saw it was getting closer and closer. Soon, it was nuzzling our heads with its craters. #vss365

It's after midnight somewhere. Our #FlashMonster contest lives! We've transformed it into more of a folky/holiday/winter oriented monster contest this year, so you've got until early December to send us something wretched. #FlashMonster2022 @LeNoirBleu themolotovcocktail.com/flash…
