About “Fire. Water.” from Life In, Life Out
“Your story seemed to us a perfect flash: ordinary, realistic strife, nearing disaster, at the same time opening to even more, of an archetypal or planetary depth or scale … It’s amazing what the story does in such a short space.”
Robert Shapard, editor of W.W. Norton Flash Fiction Anthology along with Chris Merrill and James Thomas, a former managing editor of Western Humanities Review, and the editor of a number of short-short story and flash fiction anthologies.
