Three short stories

Via various people in my Dreamwidth circle, I discovered three recent(ish) short stories, all of which I read during my lunch break today. They are all free online, and are as follows:

'On the Fox Roads,' Nghi Vo (While learning the ropes from a crafty Jazz Age bank robber, a young stowaway discovers their authentic self, a hidden gift, and that there are no straight lines when you run the fox roads…)

'Ivy, Angelica, Bay,' CL Polk (When Hurston Hill is threatened by a suspiciously powerful urban development firm, Miss l’Abielle steps up to protect her community with the help of a mysterious orphaned girl in this charming follow-up to 'St. Valentine, St. Abigail, St. Brigid.')

'Stitched to Skin Like Family Is,' Nghi Vo (A poignant story of family and loss, depicting racism and violence contrasted with small moments of kindness, set in 1930s Illinois.)
