With some much appreciated help from the editorial staff at
Every Day Fiction, I've sold them another flash piece called "Cravings."
It's a tale about a future Earth when eating has become nothing more than a
prescription diet of nutrient gels. A medical implant monitors and rigidly
enforces the prescription for each individual. But some kids have access to
ancient, illegal documents that glorify the foods people used to enjoy and they
can't resist experimenting with those contraband delicacies. Even though it
kills them in the process.
I'll post more in the days ahead to share a bit of the
background and journey that "Cravings" took. As a small teaser, let
me just say that a certain Jimmy Buffet song was involved. Not
"Margaritaville" either. Stay tuned for that.
Meanwhile, "Cravings" is scheduled to publish on
Every Day Fiction on July 27.
