Blink at Disenthralled Issue #5


My horror sestina Blink is up at Disenthralled Issue #5

(Thankyou to Angel Zapata for directing me to the poetic and rather mathematical art. It took me 20 hours to write this last summer. I hope you enjoy.)

As always Walter Conley's skills are topnotch at pacing, piecing each story, and choosing photography to enhance, build, and progress the disturbing flow of art. Every issue is a pure work of art in its entirety. Amazing writers offer their hearts and release their darkest thoughts.

For those interested in what a sestina is and the very specific formula it must be written in, read this site here.

ps. Yes, I'm still a CaveWoman. Stepped out for a breather, to get a fresh supply of (cherry) chapstick from Linda and because Carrie...nevermind. However, I am nestled back in and don't plan on coming out until you know what is you know what.
