KRISTIN TENOR: Vestige

Artistic, Submissions, ,

Your postcards still arrive in my mailbox, even though they’re addressed to a woman who no longer exists. “I’m sorry. I miss you. Forgive me.” Words stripped to the bone like a rabbit caught between the fox’s tight jaws, the remains buried deep until they are hardened, turned to stone.

Kristin Tenor finds inspiration in life’s quiet details and believes in their power to illuminate the extraordinary. Her work has appeared in various literary journals including 50-Word Stories, Bending Genres, Emerge Literary Journal, Milk Candy Review, X-R-A-Y Literary Magazine, among others. In addition, her flash fiction has been longlisted for the Wigleaf Top 50 and has been nominated for Best Small Fictions, Best of the Net, and a Pushcart Prize. She serves as an editorial consultant and the flash fiction editor at CRAFT. Learn more at kristintenor.com or follow her on Twitter at @KristinTenor.
