"A Benthic Myth of the Deep Sea" in The Pink Hydra!

 

A short flash fiction story of mine, "A Benthic Myth of the Deep Sea," recently came out in The Pink Hydra. Lots of other stories and poems in that issue, as well, so plenty of excellent things to read.

It's a stealing-fire-from-the-gods story. With giant isopods (see pic, from Wikipedia). Isopods are cool--the story is an older one, so I don't recall precisely, but I think I'd just seen a recently captured video of one walking along the seafloor when I turned that image into this little myth.

Enjoy!
