Picture of the cover of my novella-in-flash Mother Karma. Ochre yellow background with a line drawing of a woman with a bindi and her hair in a bun holding a baby. The lettering is “Mother Karma a Novella-in-flash” above the picture and below the picture Sumitra Singam (which is me, that is my name. On the cover of an actual BOOK)

Introduce yourself with five (5) animals you’ve seen in the wild:
Photo of my notes app with the following text: Introduce yourself with five animals you’ve seen in the wild: 1) The Adelaide bikie (his name was “Tiny”) 2) The guy completely strung out on bath salts (synthetic amphetamines) who was sure his eyeballs were being eaten 3) Your garden variety narcissist in a suit 4) The Indian Aunty Who Wants To Know Why You Aren’t Married 5)The Indian Aunty Who Wants To Know Why, Now That You Are Married, You Don’t Have Any Kids (Last two by far the most fearsome)

Fabulous use of white space in this fractured micro by @sightlined.bsky.social “She bursts up on the other side, gasping. ‘You!’ The anger in her. ‘You cheat!’” Such a great piece, Jane 🧡🧡🧡

I remember going to a Gaugin exhibition in London a few years ago knowing nothing about him and feeling the horror creep in as I started to learn. This flash fiction will stay with you:
