Neil Serven

I have a new flash-fiction story called “Red Eye” up at The Cincinnati Review today as part of their miCRo series. You can read it here as well as listen to a recording of me reading it.

With thanks to editor Lisa Ampleman, who introduces with this kind note:

This story makes me think about the different people we become over time—and how we create artifacts of past selves in photographs and papers (something I have familiarity with lately). Neil Serven’s story gives full complexity of character to the woman who is the speaker’s mother through the speaker’s contemplation of such artifacts.
