Hello! I have had a busy and productive start to 2021. Let’s get to the highlights:
On January 1st, my micro-fiction story, “Every Awful Sound” was published as part of Your Dream Journal’s Monster Micro issue: https://ilovedreamjournal.wordpress.com/2021/01/01/every-awful-sound/
Later in January, I wrote a non-fiction (!) love letter to one of my favorite films of all time, I Heart Huckabees as part of The Daily Drunk’s “Nuts on Screen” series: https://dailydrunkmag.com/2021/01/13/ode-to-a-geological-formation/
Both of those are my second appearance at their respective sites.
Earlier this month (February) a story I have been shopping around for years found its home at a site called Literally Stories. “The Dying Disease” was written for io9’s first ever short story contest on the theme “The Future of Death.” I envisioned this story as kind of ‘bedroom apocalypse’ story. It’s a bit of a strange timing, with the pandemic, and a sad piece like this, but I am glad it resonated with people. https://literallystories2014.com/2021/02/12/the-dying-disease-by-elad-haber/
And, finally, as an experiment, I signed up for a Flash Battle competition over at Space and Time’s website. They published my story, “Stay In Your Homes,” last year and they are wonderful people over there. It was really fun! Some difficultly to incorporate three disparate images into one single 500-word story, but I tried my best with a kind of bonkers, Jewish God-inspired party story. You can read the stories in my current “battle” and vote on your favorite (ahem, mine) here: https://spaceandtime.net/2021/02/13/flashbattle-fade/
Voting open till February 26!
