Story Profiles: “What Are Friends For?” and “Divorce Ages You”
The 2021 edition of the BOULD Awards anthology is out, and this year I have two stories in it! Due to the number of stories in this year’s edition, the print version in split into two volumes, and I have one flash fiction story in each! The Kindle edition combines both volumes into a single file.
“What Are Friends For?” is the story of a man who realizes that his best friend is planning to kill his unfaithful wife. Naturally, the central character can’t just sit idly by and allow his friend to become a murderer. Something has to be done, preferably something that won’t leave a body behind, but what?
“Divorce Ages You” is the story of a beautiful young woman who is contemplating dissolving her marriage. Soon, everywhere she goes, people start telling her that she appears to be three times her actual age. Is this a practical joke? A malicious plot? Or is something even weirder afoot?
If you like these stories, check out the earlier editions of the BOULD Awards anthologies as well!
