In @sgj.bsky.social's flash fiction collection STATES OF GRACE, "The Sheep You Shear Will Turn Out To Have Been Koala Bears All Along, Or, How To Write a Novel" is a 12-point list outlining a set of characters & reveals. It's 2 pgs long & very strange. In another universe, this novel surely exists.
