We got 76 submissions to our micro contest (thank you!!), but they're really good, so you're making it really difficult to make a decision (how dare you??!).

📢 To avoid super slow response times when we reopen April 1, we will: - Provide feedback only to those who ask after we send our response - No longer offer R&Rs. It was a neat idea but didn't work out - No longer accept multiple submissions (simultaneous subs are still cool)

We have a new experimental poem from Cailin Chua (@KuroKairin)! If you're stressed, read this one slowly. Oh. So. Slowly. When you savor each word, this piece will chill you right out. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2022…

We have a new story from Gary Campanella that's about a bird but also not at all about a bird. It begins with: When my wife says, "I’ll be gone four days, make sure you keep the bird alive," I understand. Pets are important. Read the rest here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2022…

We have a new story from David Obuchowski (@DavidOfromNJ), who knows just how to wield an unreliable narrator. Many people have someone like this in their family, which makes this a tough, but important story. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2021…
