KN Magazine: Flash Fiction
$1 Pitchers and Polo Cologne
A nostalgic flash-fiction dive into the smoky bars, cheap beer, and youthful bravado of 1970s Oklahoma, where memories of $1 pitchers, loud music, and the feeling of endless nights linger long after the Jockey Strap Saloon is gone.
A Slow Asphyxiation
After waking in a hospital bed with no memory of the crash that brought him there, Adan Garcia begins to piece together a night of drinking, violence, and tragedy. As guilt and grief suffocate him, A Slow Asphyxiation becomes a haunting exploration of memory, accountability, and the quiet collapse of a man who realizes too late what he’s done.
The Red of Mourning
In The Red of Mourning, Patrick Sylvain crafts a searing and poetic portrayal of grief, resistance, and remembrance in Port-au-Prince. Through the eyes of Solange Saintclaire—a mother mourning her husband and son—Sylvain transforms tragedy into a meditation on justice, dignity, and the unyielding power of the human spirit amid political violence and loss.
The Antelope, the Perfect Spiral
In this surreal flash fiction, a perfect spiral becomes the catalyst for chaos as football, tents, and spectators blur into a monstrous, tragic spectacle—woven with memory, family, and longing.
Curtains in the Wind

GOOD CITIZEN
After a troubling encounter on a forest trail, Lenora faces a decision that haunts her long after two teenage girls turn up dead. Good Citizen is a chilling flash fiction piece about fear, responsibility, and the gray area between instinct and inaction.
