We’ve still got our thinking caps on, so we’re extending our break into the Autumn.
In the meantime, you can travel through centuries of #HistoricalFlash inspiration on our Timeline 👉🏼 flashbackfiction.com/index.p…
📰 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
We’re stopping the clocks at FlashBack between January and June 2023.

"She lost a slipper and now hobbled over the stones and mud. But she kept walking. Her hand firmly gripped in her mother’s grasp. Her mother’s fingernails black with dirt. They had just buried the baby by the roadside." Haunting @Susmitatweets @FlashBackFic

A lunchtime thread of #FlashyFaves from one of my favourite litmags @FlashBackFic - first, this brilliantly evocative piece from @Susmitatweets "She kept walking. Though her feet were raw and bleeding she kept walking..."

Read Matt Kendrick’s latest post on Substack, exploring all the complexities of voice, whether belonging to the author, narrator, or character.
And thank you Matt for using my story, TYN (published @FlashBackFic) as an example of historical voice!

Happy #IndependenceDayIndia
May we remember the sacrifices.
Re-sharing a story about Cellular Jail/Kaala Paani where one can find hundreds of names engraved on the walls, of people who gave their all. Each name must have been a heart-wrenching story...
