Better Late Than Never Jake Freivald

Who knew stories so short could take so long?

Jake here. After a hard drive crash, data loss, failed installations of a few content management systems, and a generally rotten few months, we have to get publishing again, even if we go a little, ahem, minimalist.

We have two new little gems for you: “The Birthday” by Mike McCormick, and “Beholder” by Sarah Grey. You can call the former Urban Fantasy if you like; the latter is all-too-near-future science fiction. There’s a Classic Flash by the impish Saki, too: “A Young Turkish Catastrophe in Two Scenes”.

If you like what you read, please leave a comment (they’re the next-best-thing to money for an author) and let your networks know. Enjoy!

Jake Freivald

Flash Fiction Online’s Founding Editor Jake Freivald lives in New Jersey in a house teeming with life: a wife, nine kids (yes, all from said wife, no twins), two dogs, two cats, and twenty fish.
Lack of qualifications never stopped Jake from taking a job, so when he saw the need for a professional flash-only ‘zine he created Flash Fiction Online. He was astounded when a team of volunteers rallied around the project, and he would like to shut up now so you can read about them.
