Description:

Three stories. Two guest readers. One mermaid, back from a very long bath.

The Bathtub Mermaid returns with ‘Salt Logic,’ ‘Caffeine Theology,’ and ‘Fifteen Minutes to Showtime’ — flash fiction about oceans that apologize, coffee as religion, and the fifteen minutes before everything changes. Featuring readers Paul Maki and Jack Mangan.

Excerpt:

The ocean started apologizing on a Wednesday. I was halfway through reheating yesterday’s chowder when the first buoy pinged.
