Additionally, Murphy’s flash fiction piece, “Screaming Story,” appears in the new issue of Jellyfish Review. “Screaming Story” imagines a surreal chance encounter between two strangers that becomes heartbreaking in its intimacy and angst.
“The woman was waiting for me. Would you let me scream. There were a few people behind me coming from the bus, and other people standing all around. I almost said no, but before I could she asked again. Would you let me scream. I said yes. And there came from her then a long wail like something signifying the end of the world.”
