To Die, Then Live Again

I was thrilled to have my flash fiction piece To Die, Then Live Again selected for publication in Ellipsis Zine issue ten.

“Our tenth zine is a collection of micro fiction and flash fiction of 100 words or fewer. The stories in this collection are inspired by the objects found in antique and collectable shops, and the people that visit them.”

She was found dismembered beside some A-road; obscured by creeping Cotoneaster. No one claimed her and she was buried under meaningless platitudes by a vicar who never knew her. No flowers. She would have preferred poetry by Christina Rossetti. Remember me when I am gone away, gone far away into the silent land. She always did like irony. Her worldly possessions were donated to a charity shop and so once again she lay scattered and discarded. Until one day a young woman came and with glee grasped at the ruby necklace and floral A-line dress and put her together again.
