    The March 2015 issue of Flash Fiction Online.

    Our first story, “Small Wishes” by Carol Otte, takes us to some fanciful places but tackles some serious themes.  Sing a song, make a wish, all your dreams come true.  But should they? Next we have “The Last Man on Earth–A Mini Novel” by Pulitzer Prize nominated poet John Guzlowski; a heartfelt look into the heart and mind of the grieving.  Watch for links to the podcast of this story, as well as our interview with John. Last, but not least, we offer “The Cratch, Thy Keeper” by Matthew Amati; a SERIOUSLY creepy story with a stick-in-your craw vernacular that you’ll then be able to listen to, with spine-tingling effectiveness, in the podcast.  And don’t forget Matt’s interview. We’d like to thank voice actor Elijah Lucian for his fabulous work.
