New short story, A Bloom of Jellyfish published in the new Ex Puritan and in Antae Journal

I'm incredibly excited to have a brand new short story, A Bloom of Jellyfish 🪼in new issue of the The Ex-Puritan magazine, edited by the amazing Anuja Varghese🧡💗🎉📚 The Ex Puritan is one of my favourite literary magazines, ever, and Anuja Varghese is one of my favourite fiction and short writers (if somehow you haven't, check out her brilliant Governor General's award winning collection, Chrysalis https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62090243-chrysalis and preorder her amazing new book: https://www.anujavarghese.com/book/a-kiss-of-crimson-ash/

This story was inspired by my love of all things ocean, my love of the east coast, where I lived for of years, and loved it, and a news article I'd read about ketamine addiction, and a person who began peeing jelly (which turned out to be her bladder lining, as a side affect of ketamine damage)

I'm really grateful and thrilled about this one. You can read it in full here, thanks again : https://ex-puritan.ca/a-bloom-of-jellyfish
