A new short story from the mind of author Garrett Francis.

Since his wife's death, Luke's father has been taking more and more sips from his flask. And Luke's not sure if he likes that. He's also not sure if he likes how people treat him differently now, or if he likes how his dad and Mr. Xavier treat certain customers. Luke's not sure of a lot yet, but he's learning, and that might just be the saddest bit.

Set in 1962 Arkansas, "Flask" is a story told through the eyes of an eight-year-old about death, grief, race, and not just where it is we run when we run away, but to whom.

If you enjoy short stories from any of the following authors, "Flask" might just resonate with you: Caitlin Horrocks, Adam Johnson, Alice Walker, Raymond Carver, Colum McCann, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jim Harrison, and Karen Russell.

"Flask" is a story from Strays Like Us, a collection of ten standalone short stories exploring what it means to grow up in America.

Industry Reviews

"A significant talent, fearless, natural, and hard to classify."

-David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl

"A power house of a fiction writer. Poetic and raw, imaginative and real, Garrett is blessed with a literary talent that many can only dream of."

-Claudia Befu-Ibarra, author of Story Voyager

"Garrett Francis' fiction isn't only immersive, but is also tremendously cinematic. You literally feel yourself in a spectacular movie."

-Nadia Gerassimenko, author of when hope writes

"One of the author's greatest strengths is in writing characters that are truly complex. He never does exactly what you'd expect, and for me, that's what makes them so human and Francis so good at what he does."
