Fiction
At Cast of Wonders: "Small Magics" by Alethea Kontis. YA. Fantasy.
"Minna tried to stand still in front of the mirror, but it wasn’t working. Effie jerked Minna’s hips from side to side, trying to adjust the bustle of her sateen French cream walking dress. Minna stared at the print of the Luck etching she held, then closed her eyes and pressed it to her breast, wishing with all her might for the magic she had given it to seep back into her."
At Daily Science Fiction: "The Troll (A Tale Told Collectively)" by Marissa Lingen.
"So every year at Midsummer, there was a troll, which only stupid people
and Skånseners believe in, but nevertheless there it was. It would come
up and watch my grandfather cook the crawdads and the aunties lay out
the picnic for awhile. And then it would say, 'Who is cooking my
crawdads?'"
At The WiFiles: "Sensitive But Unclassified" by Sylvia James.
"Ms. Walker shrugged. “I’m not sure.” The warden told me to deliver it to the supervising psychologist when I went by the psychology mailbox to get the mail. So I did.” She returned my smile and backed out of my office."
