By Leah Mueller  In astrology, Mercury is the planet of communication. In mythology, he is the trickster. In the tarot, he closely aligns with the Magician card. Just as the Magician pulls rabbits from hats, Mercury finds lightning-fast solutions to seemingly intractable problems.

By Alex Carrigan  Last month, I reviewed Spinning to Mars, a collection of microfiction by Meg Pokrass. The collection was a great look into modern microfiction, so I was pleased to follow that up by reviewing another anthology of microfiction that Pokrass had a hand in. Best Microfiction 2021 is the third annual anthology of microfiction from Pelekinesis, collecting dozens of microfiction pieces from dozens of publishers, presses, and websites. Along with co-series editor Gary Fincke and guest editor Amber Sparks, the collection houses work from presses and websites like Okay Donkey Press, perhappened mag, Electric Literature, Flash Fiction Review, Whale Road Review, and more.

I seemingly created life at the worst possible time. I was grateful for her, yes, but was that selfish? My once prided ability to conjure optimism was squashed by 24-hour news cycles and a disbelief of how the winds within my country had changed. If I was finding the constant discord between my neighbors exhausting, how could I teach my daughter to cope?
