A new story – “Bored Out Of My Skull” – is coming out on the The New Flesh Magazine on the 17th (okay, it’s already the 17th here in New Zealand, but I’ll post a proper link tomorrow).
Bored Out Of My Skull seems like a dopey title for a story – a total cliche and I do rail against using cliches. The story, however it is more literal – involving drills and helmets: the kind of thing that naturally finds a home at a place like The New Flesh which publishes flash fiction of the more bizarre and quirky kind. Originally I wrote the story with the cliche as a kicking off point, never thinking the title would stick.
This will be my third publication at The New Flesh, following the more literary “While He Lay Crumpled” and humourous “Submission”. Thanks to the editors Suzie and William for accepting my story.
Congrats on the acceptance for “Bored Out Of My Skull”. I’ll be sure to check it out. Thanks for commenting on my site. I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Thanks, man.
By the way, I checked out your photos on Flicker. Pretty awesome.
Thanks John – appreciate it. The link is on the blog now.
