Is the new McCarthy novel completely absurd and inaccessible or am I missing something? I adore McCarthy. But I am nearly halfway through and s t r u g g l i n g. #amreading #CormacMcCarthy #bookstodon

This #FlashFiction #Story is called The Boy Who Carried Fire and is the first thing I ever had published. It's special to me, because I wrote it during a time when I was working with refugees in Athens and hearing so many heartbreaking stories. I was broken by their pain, and I just could not make sense of how they endured it. How humans in general can endure so much suffering. What stories of yours are most special to you? I would absolutely love to read and boost.

Wyatt Bonikowski ~ Teenage Boy in Polaroids

@wbonikowski love this, Wyatt. That wild time of childhood discovery, exploring the alien landscape of the world, trying to understand ourselves and others—it’s one of my favorite things to read and write about. Thanks for sharing this one.

@FloraSpore 8! Oh wow. This little dude is a handful on his own. We had to quickly reassess the kind of furniture we have in the house because apparently EVERYTHING we have feels like a scratching post 🙃
