Heart Full Of Coal

I’ve already posted an initial version of this piece, this is a revised and slightly longer version. It’s a short and simple mystery story but the mystery is not of the usual kind.

Full of coal

First post! Wannabe Buddha

‘So I thought I was on a journey to being “woke”, like in the new-age-possibly-bullshit sense. When, really, I was just a shabby wannabe Buddha. Really I was on an eightfold path to self-destruction.’

I hope you enjoy my first post! It’s a very short flash-fiction inspired by Buddhism and self-development. I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts below. Much love.
