Come on in. The forest is lovely.

Did you know that trees release aerosols that improve your sense of wellbeing? Perhaps that's why a walk in the woods seems to brim with possibility. I like to think of my stories as strolls through magical forests. (All right, sometimes they're more like a sprint.) Either way, I hope you find some magic here.

#flashfictionmagic – ELEMENTS

May 10, 2022 by Sheri

#flashfictionmagic- ELEMENTS Arius hunched over thetiny covered lantern. The wind of Bellower’s Gap made his eyes water, tasting the exposed crevice at the back of his neck. “All right, Drio?” he shouted without turning. The narrow rock walls of the Gap’s end made leaning lines in the near distance. From behind, his son touched his […]

#flashfictionmagic Sheri Yutzy

#flashfictionmagic – APRIL SHOWERS BRING… The grey downpour crept in at the edges of my vision, conjuring shapes that vanished when I looked at them directly. I stood at the east facing window of the house library, my fingers fanned against the windowsill as if in thought. He couldn’t see my white knuckles. “Come back […]

#flashfictionmagic Spiced Tea & Curiosity Sheri Yutzy

#flashfictionmagic – SPICED TEA & CURIOSITY Ingrid clutched the mug tighter, willing its heat to soak through her red plaid mittens. The three mountains that rimmed her world wore downy muffs of snow, their distant jagged peaks now rounded. “Ingrid?” Her granfer’s voice swirled through the snowflakes. He shuffled across the yard to stand by her […]

#flashfictionmagic – DEEPEST DARK When people ask me how I lost my sight, I tell a different story each time. I touched the Archangel’s Scepter without first swallowing holy water. I stepped into a cloud of golden troll dust and neglected to close my eyes. Or my personal favorite: the Duc sneezed on me. The […]

#flashfictionmagic - RED ROSE 🥀🥀🥀 Bell ha #flashfictionmagic - RED ROSE
🥀🥀🥀
Bell had always thought the scent of a red rose looked like iniquity. The one she looked at now had a dozen silky petals unfolding like red bedsheets, its tiny cloud of fragrance curved and dark as blood along its edges. It lay at the edge of her flower stand, its stem threaded between the row of bouquets in crystal vases.
Peering through her eyelashes, she studied the festival crowd that hid the burnt orange bricks of the Piazza. Who would give a flower to a flower seller? And why one that meant passion?
The crowd teemed with flashing white teeth and bare shoulders. No eyes bored into hers from the shadows. No melancholy suitor saluted her over their glass of wine. The crowd was, as ever she wished it, unconscious of her presence.
She took a cleansing breath, letting the lighter fragrances of the other flowers wash over her. The rose must be a mistake. Meant for someone else. She tried to smooth the furrow between her eyebrows.
If only her pulse would stop thrumming and her fingers would stop creeping toward that thorny stem.

A small portion of the results from today’s jam A small portion of the results from today’s jam making. Such a pretty fruit! My mom and I had such a good time talking the last batch turned into strawberry syrup instead of jam.😅 ah well.
Are you preserving any fruit this summer? We travel so much each summer I usually just pick one fruit or vegetable to focus on.
