Micro fiction*: On Valas Rock the Seals Cry

“The sea was all he had and if he couldn’t escape it, he’d die.”

* Ah, selkies! I love them so. I wrote a short piece for a Gamma.Con story competition which had to be under 800 words and sci-fi or fantasy. I didn’t make the shortlist of ten (you can read them here), but I was happy with my tale.

So happy, in fact, that I revisited, reworked, and significantly expanded the piece and entered it in the Heroines Anthology #4 in 2022. Which is why the body of the original short has been removed. Fingers crossed for a good outcome for the reworked piece “When Seals Cry”.
