What we love about this piece: first, the setting--an art gallery! Here, Sumitra expertly draws parallels between the narrator's relationship and the art work they're viewing--the arc is beautifully done, and then the ending subverts the reader's expectations ever so subtly (2/3)

What we love about this piece--the calming pace, the meditative conversations between Emmeline, the narrator, and the equine therapist, and at the end, you feel like you've been through a healing experience. Plus conversing with a horse--peak #namjooning !

@Sudhasubraman @andrewbertaina @matchbooklitmag Right? It’s breathless and yet it lets the words breathe. Such a difficult balance to strike!

What we love about this piece: Passing is set around a tender moment between a mother and her grown-up child, but it's so much more than that. Despite being a one sentence flash, Andrew never rushes, he keeps us immersed in the story...(2/4)

Here's a bonus: A sketch of a bicycle by artist Moon Sung-sik--one of @BTS_twt Namjoon's favorite artists. This also became the cover art for Namjoon's song, Bicycle. (3/3). Hope you enjoy!

The dishes will not abandon you. I get as tired as anyone of doing them. But then I’m pissed about something & my hands need a task. Or thenβ€”sometimes!β€”I love my life so much I want to slow down & savor it, make it last, & what task is right there to oblige? Damn dishes is right.
