The Heebie-Jeebie Beam - E.C. Fuller

New story! The Heebie-Jeebie Beam - E.C. Fuller, @birdshapedhat

July 2022 I thought I found a toy raygun. It looked like a toy, at least. I’d been rummaging around in Dad’s backyard workshop for props when I found it in a dusty black briefcase wedged between an old laptop and a beige filing cabinet. Chisel-like marks cut into the scuffed leather and busted brass latches, as if someone had broken into it. Nestled in emerald velvet, the raygun’s body was orange…

Another question for E.C. Fuller, @birdshapedhat

Q: If you could talk to your novice-writer self, what bit of advice would you give? A: There’s a difference between being a writer and being a storyteller, and the faster you understand the difference, the happier you’ll be with your own work. Better still if you understand the basic definition of a story: a story is about someone trying to do something difficult and how they change inwardly as a…

It came from E.C. Fuller

It came from E.C. Fuller, @birdshapedhat

E.C. Fuller’s story “Singot” was published in Metaphorosis on Friday, 2 July 2021. “Singot” was inspired by two things: a screenshot of a Tumblr post about how kindergarten teachers are perfect for teaching people how to be human and an NPR podcast about anthropologists believing they had discovered a new emotion. The idea that you could discover a new emotion gripped me. I had recently realized…

Singot - E.C. Fuller

New story! Singot - E.C. Fuller, @birdshapedhat

July 2021 The first Sinmai I ever saw was watching my kindergarten class play from behind the fence. Round belly and stumpy legs, noodle arms, a short muzzle, and nubby teacup ears, lush with wheaten fur. Long fingers that threaded through the chain link like vines. I thought they were a baseball mascot. Yet, even from afar, they had an alertness, a flexibility to their face, not the vacant,…

A question for E.C. Fuller, @birdshapedhat

Q: Are titles easy or hard for you? Do you start with the title or the story?] A: Story first, always.

Titles are usually the last part I revise because they’re the first thing readers read and they color the rest of the story. For example, “Singot”, was nearly titled “Abai”…
