Two microfictions on Nanoism!

Leavings and Remains (The Colored Lens, Winter 2013)! An alt!hist CanLit featuring zombies, Alzheimer’s, and of course familial secrets and lies. Because CanLit. fantasy/fabulism

Seltsam (but sold by Victoria, such hustle)! This gig economy, am I right? Wacky what people gotta do to survive! Wow, maybe this story IS more literary than we planned it to be.
