Here is a flash fiction piece by one of our features this month, Pablo Miguel Martínez . Hes a wonderful reader as well. Come Wednesday to hear for yourself. “Where There’s Smoke” by Pablo Miguel Martínez I once dated a handsome Irish guy named Frank. He was a fireman. One night, over dinner at a cramped restaurant on West Sixteenth, Frank shared this: most heart attacks occur in the bathroom. More specifically, he said, on the toilet or in the shower. “I’ve found many victims that way.” Frank smiled then chewed his meatloaf sandwich. He never dipped into the natural gravy, ordered on the side. This consumed me: we sure risk a lot when we strain to expel or cleanse. Later that night, as we waited for the subway, Frank explained something else. He had to move on. A shower of confettied information burst in my head. It created an embarrassing mess. A monotone voice crackled on the platform speakers. It announced that the uptown No. 3 was running late. provided by: blogs.sacurrent/streetview/where-theres-smoke-by-pablo-miguel-martinez/
