I wrote one short story this year (because all my writing time has been focused on my novel) and it just got picked up by X-R-A-Y. Sooo excited to see what you all think of it, it’s a weird one.

A big group is having a birthday party at my apartment pool and it’s very charming except they keep popping balloons (?) and it sounds like gunshots. Thinking about screaming at them.
