Thank you to Ben at BULL for publishing not one but two of my flash fiction pieces in early 2026. Both of these pieces were written during SmokeLong Quarterly workshops. This was my first publication where I received an acceptance within 24-hours of submitting. Ben said “Sweet Jesus, Christina, these are so fucking great. Honestly, “My Neighbor Pays Me…” had me at the title and it didn’t disappoint.”

And look at that photo that goes with it? It’s perfect. Read “My Neighbor Pays Me $100 to Dress Up Like His Dead Daughter” here.

Need a laugh? Read my other recent piece “Dad Jokes” that was published in BULL earlier this year.

My whole vibe for 2026 is trying to be as funny as possible even while exploring grief and loss.
