Little Birds.

“Someday, someone is going to knock all of the wildness out of you” 

And so begins Little Birds, a story in three parts by the always charismatic Sarah Flynn.

In “Brambles,” we read about a young woman whose wildness consumes her. In “How the Light Gets In,” we wake up in the wild, not knowing how we got there, but knowing that there is a place we need to be getting to. And in the final story — the title story — we learn of those who fly away from us, and those who can’t.

Little Birds is equal parts charming and heartbreaking. We hope you like it as much as we do.

You can download Little Birds for free at Little Fiction, or follow any of these links to read it on your smartphone, tablet, eReader or desktop.

Little Fiction is about to turn six months old, and we’ll be celebrating next week with the release of four short stories (instead of our usual two):

Little Birds by Sarah Flynn, Swarm Theory by Braydon Beaulieu, Soul Gazing by Pete Grapentien and A Few Loose Ends by M.W. Fowler. Until then, hope you dig the covers. 

Thanks.
