    Thanks for mentioning “Iron Oxide Red” and “Newfangled” as story options (there are many more at http://www.dailysciencefiction.com as well.)

    One small correction. Neither story is flash fiction. “Iron Oxide Red” by Gwendolyn Clare is about 2,000 words — we’re calling it a “short short”. “Newfangled” by K.G. Jewell is about 3,000 words — a short story.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan
