short fiction
Stories I feel are most encapsulating of me as a writer are “Icariana” (tender apocalypse flash fiction), “Laura Lau Will Drain You Dry” (campy feminine horror), “What Becomes of Curious Minds” (diaspora Wonderland), “Red, Scuttle When The Ships Come Down” (magical realism inspired by migrant labour/prison history), and “The Name Ziya” (fantasy dark academia). But you can find all the short fiction I’ve published since 2022 (with a more curated selection from 2021 and earlier) below.
