Love being part of the Trash Cat fam!!
From our latest issue 🦝 We loved how Beth @bsherm36 used the surrealness of the zebra to write about the craft of writing. The voice is dry and witty and keeps us immersed until the fabulous freedom of the end. Read Beth's fun flash here: trashcatlit.com/the-prompt-say…
Burger Time by @bsherm36 . Tender & introspective, this piece shows that even brief encounters can leave an impact. It offers a poignant reminder that even in the most mundane & monotonous settings, unseen struggles & small, unexpected moments of connection carry meaning.
48 hour acceptance from @sixsentences. Thanks @mcevily for giving this one such a lovely, speedy home!
