All 3 are incredible, but my favorite is βCloud Babyβ! If you havenβt read these, take a minute to treat yourself to @ezhang77.bsky.socialβ gorgeous prose.
Around us, the city slowly decayed. It was the best time of our lives
Loving this beautiful work by @ezhang77.bsky.social today π¬οΈ
βIn the beginning, there was nothing to eat, only dream soup. Grandmother made it from her hair.β

And this unexpected story with it's damning indictment ending, read this too !
Excellent, evocative piece.
LOVE the way this story pieces itself together at the end. Brilliant.
ββ¦ and we just stood there on the curb outside the station and let her repeat it over and over and over.β
ββ¦ but she shrugged it off as if it burned.β

Incredible, Emily. Just continuing to absolutely kill it with every story π₯π₯π₯
ββ¦my Uncle Joe called her a fucking snowflake and my Dad told him to shut the fuck up, and Uncle Joe laughed and said, what are you going to do, hit me?β¦β
Donβt miss the spectacular drama in this @emilyrinkema.bsky.social flash!
"I texted my sister & told her to meet me at the Waffle House, that we had a felony to commit. I told her to wear black & she didn't disappoint."
@emilyrinkema.bsky.social is killing it with this story! πto the narrator, sister & dad β€οΈβπ©Ήto Max & Aunt Tica, β to the minster & Uncle Joe. RIP Kelly.
"...and I grabbed the ball and heard the sirens, but I didn't care, I just wished she were here, Kelly, and that she could see us and the lights and the alarms,...."
Big love for this extraordinary piece of writing by @emilyrinkema.bsky.social in @wigleaf.bsky.social πππ
My Aunt Tica asked me to break into the church hall to steal a glass ornament from the lobby tree, so I texted my sister and told her to meet me at the Waffle House, that we had a felony to commit.
@emilyrinkema.bsky.social does my heart in again. In @wigleaf.bsky.social

I found my father on the back steps. He told me Kelly had asked to come live with us last year. I pretended I didn't know that already....
Excellent story from @emilyrinkema.bsky.social @wigleaf.bsky.social
I could not be happier about where this story ended up. Thank you @wigleaf.bsky.social for believing in "Things That Happened at or around My Cousin Kelly's Funeral, in No Particular Order." Started at @smokelong.bsky.social, of course... wigleaf.com

Oh! I don't have the words to say how much Iove this story.
Something about how the diction goes tall taleβ¦ just π€―
The sun was already rising above the horizon, round and tenderly pink like a clean udder brimming with milkβ¦.
Love this by Sergei Gerasimov @wigleaf.bsky.social ππ
