2023 Finalists | Defenestrationism.net

Welcome, welcome,
all are welcome
to the

2023 FLASH SUITE Contest

In our utterly astounding 2023 FLASH SUITE Contest— only on Defenestrationism.net — we have tales of the fantastical, and of the far too real.

How do you feel about psychiatric squirrels? Would you deny a sign from your spirit fox? Why, you simply must invite the new walrus in town to your book club– and aren’t you dying to wonder how the lion-haired compose their symphonies?

Yes– in this the 2023 FLASH SUITE Contest, we have the hearts of city planners, “forever” homes and “just in case” rooms, bloodied stairways, coffin-laden architectures, and we have our insides drawn out. We have riddles which we must study for the rest of our lives, along with the negative results that we stare at over and over again. And we have the loves and lies and thefts and the giving-back of the stars.

So you can drink down your capitalism and your death and your births like a good little child, or you can go jump out the window. Because we have them all.

Oh, yes— yes— the 2023 FLASH SUITE Contest on Defenstrationism.net has its death and has its depression, has its regrets and repentances, all together with its murders and mysteries and mayhem.

And war. It will have war.
