Fbomb NYC on Sept 9, 2016

I was thrilled to be able to join the kickoff of Fbomb NYC on Friday, Sept 9, hosted by Paul Beckman and featuring myself and Bud Smith. The series is a spin-off of the Denver Fbomb, a flash fiction-based series I began in 2013. The Red Room above the KGB bar in in the East Village was a wonderful location and there was a packed house! Readers included:

Read what fellow reader A.E. Weisgerber had to say about the event here as well as a great photo slideshow of all the readers:Jane Liddle, Alice Kaltman, Loren Kleinman, Paul Beckman, Gessy Alvarez, Sara Lippman, Chuck Howe, Anne Weisgerber, Jan Elman-Stout, Jolene McIlwaine.

“Naked” published in 100 Word Story

Naked

 by Nancy Stohlman
The scissors slide easily through the thick denim of my favorite blue jeans, fromnaked1-300x294 ankle to waist, ankle to waist, as one leg then the other falls away. He slices up the middle of my thin cotton shirt like tissue paper, unwraps me, my pink Victoria’s Secret bra a final ribbon snipped and spilling to the ground, leaving me naked. Exposed.

Are you having trouble breathing? he asks with kind brown eyes.

A little, on one side, I whisper.

We’ll be there soon he says, gently placing an oxygen mask as the ambulance sirens rattle the warm evening air.
