Flash fic rec: Go Bag by Chris Scott

[merrileemakes]

I was recommended Go Bag by Chris Scott from Matt Kendrick's Mondettes newsletter.

Go Bag is a list-based flash fiction that has a real punch to it, a great example of the form. It reminds me quite a bit of Joseph Fasano's Words Whispered to a Child Under Siege, which is another hundred words or so that will rip your guts right out. Words for our modern agony.

Thank you for the recs for both of these.

You might like "An Incomplete Timeline of What We Tried", also list-based short fiction.
