Podcast Short Story: Weekend in the Suburbs by Mark Tulin

Drawing by Kriskamol Vutithum

This week the literary podcast, Other People’s Flowers, featured one of my short stories. To listen to the podcast, please click Weekend in the Suburbs. This story was first published in the online journal, The Cabinet of Heed.

Weekend in the Suburbs involves an angry city kid spending a weekend with his rich uncle and entitled family.  Some of the themes in this story include culture conflict, freedom, loss, anger, parenting, money, and mental illness.

Please be advised that the story has quite a bit of profanity.
