flash fiction. slipstream. 650 words.
After I read the Abigail Thorn @realphilosophytube quote at the top of this post, I had the strangest dream. Everything I'd ever thought about transness, suicide, agency, family, and duty was in it, and, predictably, it was in fiction form. That dream is now out, in the form of the piece Tragic Accident. Women in the walls! Transition as suicide! Ambiguously historical setting! Tragic Accident has it all, in less than a thousand words.
Obviously, this piece is very close to my heart. It's one of my favorites I've written so far. I'm very happy to be able to share it (and another weird flash piece, The Scar) with a community of people whom I hope will very much enjoy it—first with $5+ Patreons, and now with everyone. Thank you so much for supporting strange transsexual writing.

Deeply saddened by the tragic death of Tere Livingstone, a league rugby player Papamoa. It's just devastating and heart-wrenching to see a young life tragically cut short in an accident involving a rugby game, so I'd like to express my deepest condolences and thoughts to his whanau and friends at this really difficult time. However, I'm glad to hear that the young man donated his organs. Again, my sympathies are with his family at this difficult time.
Do you think the empire tried to cover up the deaths of the separatist leaders after Palpatine sent Anakin to kill them?
Maybe they issued a cover story.
“Yes, they…uh, they died in a latrine accident. Yes! Just before Vader arrived. As soon as he opened the doors the floor collapsed and they fell through to their deaths, drowning in shite.”
“So how did they say the separatist leaders died again?”

Three-Year-Old Girl's Death - Daughter of Residents of Maud Street.
----
At 16 Maud street the three-year-old child, Barbara Kullius, the daughter of Russian parents, fell to her death from an upstairs window about eight o'clock last night. No one saw the accident, as the child had been put to bed in the room above the kitchen just after the father, who is a nightwatchman, left for his work. The rest of the family were sitting at the front door when they heard the child scream, and upon running to the back yard they found the little girl so badly injured that she died within a few minutes.
Dr. George Smith, of King west, who was summoned, stated after an examination that the child had fallen upon its head, that the skull was fractured and the back injured. There will not be an inquest.

so the queen gets to step back because of her mental breakdown thus putting more pressure on Wille when Wille wasn’t even allowed to properly mourn the loss of his brother and adjust to his new royal title… sounds about right
It has been a year since 7 people died in a car crash out at Picton. Nelson should lower its flags 🇳🇿 to half mast as a mark of respect, so the Top of the South regions of Nelson, Marlborough, Tasman and the West Coast can reflect on that day of the accident that had a sufficient impact on us all.
I love how in PJO Percy makes such a point of trying to spare the enemy demigods because they're just being tricked or brainwashed and he couldn't possibly let them die (because killing your enemies is for the bad guys), and then in HoO we finally get to see the POV of Nico "as long as it's not technically murder it can go in a kids' book" di Angelo, and he just does not hesitate. You're hurting his friends? You're a threat that can't be dealt with via a stern talking to? Okay. Goodbye.
