My short fiction story, “Hello, Happiness,” is now available to read in the newest issue of The First Line! I was struck by the concept behind this publication; every story uses the same first sentence—for the issue containing my story, the line was: “The parking lot was empty.” I found myself immediately inspired by this hook.
My piece is a little unsettling, a little sci-fi, and a little romance. I am so pleased that it was well received by the editors (my piece was one of eight works selected out of nearly seven hundred submissions! so exciting!), and I hope that others enjoy reading it as well. The hardcopy and PDF are available for purchase at this link.
