Quick Fiction: Doing Good

In honor of its 10th issue and fifth year, Quick Fiction, a lit mag based in Jamaica Plain, is putting together a special issue and getting real benevolent.

Quick Fiction specializes in flash fiction, short-shorts, micro fiction, whatever you wanna call it; all stories are, at longest, 500 words.
