TORONTO, April 1, 2025 — CommuterLit, a premier Canadian online literary platform for short fiction, is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of "She Sleeps," a haunting flash fiction piece by acclaimed writer P.A. Farrell.
In just 535 words, Farrell masterfully captures the solemn journey of a group saying farewell to a loved one during a sea burial. The story unfolds through mysterious dialogue and atmospheric descriptions, inviting readers to experience the weight of grief alongside moments of unexpected connection with the deceased.
"She Sleeps" guides readers through a final journey—from a stalled bridge to a boat on dark waters—where the departed seems to playfully delay her own farewell. The narrative culminates in a poignant ceremony where a white container disappears beneath the waves, leaving behind only flowers and memories.
P.A. Farrell, based on the East Coast of the US, continues to establish a distinctive voice in contemporary flash fiction. "She Sleeps" will be available on CommuterLit's website between April 7-11, 2025, joining the publication's collection of quality short fiction designed for readers on the go.
