My flash story "The Coots" is out now in Epiphany (@epiphanylit.bsky.social)! This piece means a lot to me and I'm happy that it found a home in such a beautiful place. You can read it here:

The Coots by Steven R. Kraaijeveld — Epiphany Magazine

But something is wrong with these coots. Why are they moving so strangely?

"The city taught me fear, an infinity of fear.
A crowd, a street, sometimes a thought I saw
on somebody's face, have made me shake with terror.
My eyes still feel the hard, cruel light cast
by the endless streetlights on the tramping feet below."

"And if the memories that they had sculpted while breathing in this life together should gradually fade away, become transmuted into new memories forged through a projector, should anyone mourn that loss?"

My short story "The Future of Grief" is out now in Maudlin House (@maudlinhouse.bsky.social).

I suppose that you could call it a cautionary tale about using technology to cope with grief.
