The Cru wake up far earlier than usual to record with Tee Zee, an author and podcaster from Australia. We chat about how and why certain themes work their way into our writing as well as the joys of flash fiction as a form of storytelling. Stories include dreams that are more than they seem; Satan, transmigrated into a turkey; the chains of daily life (and the freedom that becomes those chains); and a girl searching for her lost friend.
You can listen to Tee Zee's podcast, Flash Fiction in Five, here. His blog, Roads Less Traveled, will include this week's story in print form.
From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
Transmigration of souls. An ancient belief concerning the transition of the soul after death to another body or substance, usually human or animal, also known as metempsychosis. BRAHMANS and Buddhists accept human descent into plants as well as animals, and the BUDDHA underwent 550 births in different forms. The ancient Egyptians held to a form of transmigration in which the soul could inhabit another form to allow temporary revisiting the earth. See also PYTHAGORAS.
Stories begin around the 16:15 mark. Write on!
