The Mall by Phade 1
Greetings Readers,
Many of you know about my stories centered on a strip-mall in the future. I’m so pleased to announce that one of these stories, “Love Needs Translation” has been published today on Fictionary. A huge thank you to Editor Akanksha Roy for not only finding my story worthy of publication, but providing me with wonderful feedback on my craft as well. What a treat!
I would be honored if you found time to visit Fictionary and read my latest, published short, “Love Needs Translation.” And to get you in the mood for this lighter, more humorous tale, there’ s none better than Foreigner and perhaps his cheesiest hit from 1984.
Listen first, read later, maybe?

Thank you for reading this story, Tom. It was nice to write something less epic and more everyday, but set in my future strip mall.

Makes a nice change of pace from the typical save-the-galaxy / deep-space-horror stories. Lovely charming snapshot into a new world 🙂

Thank you so much, Nicole. Yeah, I think there’s a lot of new rules and stressors. You never know, Swillies might grow on you a few virtual dates. 🤣

Truth. The shallow end often looks deep. But, it’s your choice to jump in.
