Our story of the week: "Hope is the Thing with Circuits and Steel" by Elitsa Dermendzhiyska from FFO. The story is weird and ripe with warnings for humanity. Grannies. Consumption. A question probing the nature of emotion acquisition. Give it a read @flashfictiononline.bsky.social.

Greetings, sapients! Have you ever thought so hard about doing a thing you forgot that you didn't actually do it? That's precisely why I'm posting this announcement of Part 2 of "Butter Side Down" by Kal M now, rather than yesterday. Learn from me, and don't forget to experience this story!

"Regret was without question the emotion no membalmer wanted to see trickling into the basin when they tapped a skull."

If You Can’t Make Your Own Regret, Store-Bought Is Fine by RJ Aurand

PseudoPod 1006: Give A Dog A Bone | PseudoPod
A dog always remembers where he buries a bone. Wolves, not so much. Wolves aren’t the burying type. They don’t save for later, because they know they can always make another kill. And they don’t bury…

Take a moment today to consider so-called justice, meted out among the stars, in "Interstellar Catalog: Death Penalty" by Shana Ross from our June issue of this year:
Interstellar Catalog: Death Penalty - Small Wonders
On this world they still have the death penalty. / If found guilty of certain crimes, you / are sent into space, alone in a capsule.

If you find yourself stuck today, take a moment for Nadia Born's "In Which the Minotaur Just Wants to Get Out of the Labyrinth, Dammit" from June of this year:
In Which the Minotaur Just Wants to Get Out of the Labyrinth, Dammit - Small Wonders
He’s tried to explain this to the maidens but his bull’s tongue only rasps and scrapes, and he ends up licking the mud-bricked walls for relief.

Find room in your life for something small, something foreign, something like a "Planetisimal." If you're lucky, it will be just as heartwarming as Marisca Pichette's story in our sixth issue:
Planetesimal - Small Wonders
I rescued a meteorite last night. It fell in the backyard, sizzling and screaming and lighting up the shower.
