I am now the proud owner of a rare print edition of The Slag Review, Issue 8, Spring 2018 in which my story ‘Fragility’ was first published. I was very pleased to see the story in print and remain very thankful to the editing team for including it. Unfortunately, I learned recently that the Review has closed down and is no longer online, meaning my story is no longer floating around out there looking for readers. Unless you happen to be passing by my Bremen apartment to read the physical copy, you will need to make do with the pdf of the story below. I would say enjoy the read but it is not really an upbeat read. Sorry about that.
