“Gary used to bring his solitude home with him. I could feel it whishing in behind him. It was like a gentle autumn draught.”
I love everything about this funny, sad, little-bit-nutty story about grief and false teeth - can’t recommend it enough! Jan makes it all look effortless, as always.
Our story of the week is Impractical Choices by Raheem Omeiza.
Thank you Sara! 💙

Love seeing Ex Partum out in the wild. Look how lovely it is, sitting there in the sunshine. Right before it rips out your faith in the system.
Order yours!

Impractical Choices, a short fiction by Raheem Omeiza
This is absolutely brilliant - if you haven’t read it yet, highly recommend!
Reposting this flash essay today in memory of my grandmother, a paramedic who once ran out the door for an emergency call and forgot about a chicken roasting in the oven. She never got to read this version, but I think she’d approve.
