Hello, this is Frank.
Let me introduce my flash fiction debut from the slightly mysterious anthology “The Oil Painting of the Pansy.” Below you’ll find a short synopsis and a sneak peek. I hope you enjoy reading it!
【Synopsis】
This is the very first piece from my “Slightly Mysterious Anthology.”
An oil painting of a pansy—it’s a bittersweet memory from my student days. A deep longing to see “her” again begins to twist fate in unexpected ways…
At approximately 1,725 Japanese characters (about 4+ manuscript pages), this debut work may seem like a premium-priced short read. But for the price of a cup of coffee, I invite you to savor a moment of nostalgic youth.
【Sneak Peek】
“Dad, it’s ginger pork tonight!”
On this autumn evening, my college-aged daughter—who’s added a new recipe to her repertoire—was cooking dinner.
As I thought of her being unable to meet her boyfriend tonight, my eyes wandered to the oil painting of pansies hanging on the kitchen wall.
No matter how often I look at it, the collage of yellow petals and green leaves always evokes a strange warmth, tinged with melancholy. I’ve thought about letting it go several times, but something about that piece still ties me to the youth I can’t quite leave behind.
＊
It all began in the spring of my freshman year at university…
