The prompt word for today's #30words30days story on Bluesky is "yield".

By coincidence, I'm currently reading The Yield by Tara June Winch. I bought the novel after she won the Miles Franklin Award in 2020, but to my shame, it's been sitting in my to-be-read pile ever since.

However, The Yield is this month's selection for my Indigenous Writers Book Club and I'm loving the book! So, I paid homage to it with today's 30-word story:

The police found him dead in bed, crushed by his pile of to-be-read books. But he was smiling, with The Yield propped on his nose, opened at the first chapter. ✍️
