Best place to get it is in Vol 2 of the Years Best cause then you get a whole heap of other top quality reads.

surprised cause you're on it? I thought Burning from the inside was a much stronger piece than Mr Pussy, plus I'm not sure I have anything here that has vomiting in it, I could be wrong?

surprised that I'm on it and even more surprised with the stories of mine that you chose. And especially seeing "Going Down..." and "Father Father" are borderline flash fiction. (Both arrived fully formed from nowhere and demanded I write them).

That's I guess what's most interesting - when flash works and when it bombs. A lot of what I liked has been pointed out to me to be "almost flash fiction" so I guess my comments still stand - flash is not quite enough words for me.
