One of These Days – Poignant New Flash Fiction

Poignant new flash fiction – One of These Days is my latest flash fiction story. The story is featured in the current issue of 3Elements Literary Review. One of These Days tells the tale of an older married couple, a conversation at breakfast, and hardening egg yolks. Submission calls from 3Elements Literary Review always require three elements. The elements for this issue are a crowd, an anchorage, and a wedding dress.

Read the Story NOW!

Let me start by throwing down a huge shout-out to the great editors at 3Elements Literary Review. This is not my first try with this fine ‘Zine. I’ve collected a few rejection letters in the past, so I’m hugely grateful to the editors for giving my story the thumbs up. One of These Days is my first piece to appear in 3Elements but I’m hoping to become a steady contributor. Without further ado, mash the big button, and you will be whisked away to the elemental world of a great online literary magazine.
