For SFFH awards season, I’d be honored if you consider these poems and stories:
Silt Girl and Speckle Fish (40 lines), 4 L P H 4 N U M 3 R 1 C, September, 2026. Fantasy.
A poem about a lasting friendship, flying fish, and the river of time.
***
Ten and Out (1019 words), Flash Fiction Online, April, 2026. SciFi, Noir.
Reviewed here; recommended by Maria Haskins in Locus.
“Ten and Out” by Myna Chang is a rollicking, action-packed tale that involves a guild of assassins, double and triple crosses, and the very nifty idea of tattoos, specifically tattoo ink, being used to transmit data. In this story, the number ten, as in ten completed missions, shapes the protagonist’s actions in a tale about desperate choices, and the desire to wipe the slate clean and find a new life, if you can just survive the old one. —Maria Haskins, Locus

Brainbox Blues (3496 words), Radon Journal, October, 2026. SciFi.

Deal Breaker (240 words), Ghost Parachute, January, 2026. Dark Fantasy.
A man in a 1930s Kansas diner makes a fool of himself and breaks a bargain with a devil.

Shattered Across the Night (373 words), Ghost Parachute, October, 2026. Horror.
A micro about carelessness and evening the score.
