ACCEPTANCE: ‘Necrobiome Love Affair’

For the fourth year in a row, I’ve been accepted into Aberystwyth University’s MA Anthology!

This year’s theme was ‘metamorphosis’–I always like to take the themes of these anthologies and turn them into something dark, and this was a particularly fun one.

Inspired by my current obsession of flies, maggots, and decay, Necrobiome Love Affair is a short story with gothic vibes and sexual undertones.

Written from the perspective of a dead body, the story follows the decomposition of the corpse and its relationship to the lifecycles of flies as a metaphor for failed romances.

So happy my streak hasn’t been broken and very excited to see all the other pieces!
