2 Weeks of GiaB

Genius in a Bottle’s fortnightly list of published pieces

Well, we’ve completed February with a burgeoning readership. 2020’s year-end celebrations are definitely behind us and the re-starting of the motor has now transitioned to seamless operation. readership is up and the submissions are potent with the creative energy of rested minds.

Please enjoy GiaB’s published works below. Where possible, we would appreciate if you could read the stories, clap for them and maybe drop the writer a line to let them know your thoughts. It all helps in bringing out our best.

If you feel so inclined, GiaB would appreciate it if you could share these stories with others on social media, so these works can reach a wider audience.

Thank you to all our writers who submitted great stories and made the GiaB community what it is.
