Just a quick note to announce the release of Cactus Heart’sSpeculative issue (e-Issue #11) which includes my prose poem noir sequence “Moth Season,” which follows the adventures of one Inspector Moth.
Here’s a sample of the piece:
Inspector Moth walked from one end of the brightness to the other. Still, the pane remained. He had crashed into it not knowing why. He paced, tapping at the glass now and then, boxing with his reflection, the colors he was made of pushing back. The whole world, he thought, can see that I am stuck.
