Guest Editor’s Note: Flash Fiction

Greetings!

It is such an honor to be asked to be the Guest Editor for the April 2021 Flash Fiction Section of Setu. The submissions and quality of work were breathtaking. I adore that each writer in the following Flash Fiction Section shares an intricate and compelling story all within 500 words. They made harsh cuts when necessary and knew what words were needed to intrigue the reader and leave them wanting more. From memories of childhood to chance encounters. Missed opportunities and the exploration of pain and relationships. Creepy tales and tragedy. I invite you to dive in and explore the best of the best Flash Fiction stories presented to you by Setu. 

Thank you to each contributing writer for trusting me with your work.
