“Promises Made” in The Sidewalk Diverges
“Promises Made” is a microfiction piece that combines a fairy promise and a modern staging of A Midsummer’s Night Dream. Though it’s quite short, it’s a story I enjoyed writing, as it makes good use of relying upon common knowledge as a shorthand to keep the word count low. After all, most readers will be at least dimly familiar with A Midsummer’s Night Dream or at least have an idea of what a character named Puck might look like.
“Promises Made” originally appeared in the Glittery Literary Anthology Four, and it’s also available in The Sidewalk Diverges, alongside other contemporary fantasy stories and poetry!
