Mad Gorilla Writes

Read The Golden Boy, first place winner of Flash Fiction Magazine's summer 2023 story contest.

The story explores two extremely different experiences of childhood from the perspective of two brothers. The story is ultimately a tragedy, not because of the insecure and impulsive personality of one brother but through the description of the fragility of the content moments in life.

Warning: the story contains tragic and potentially disturbing content.
