this #FlashFicFriday I offer up Andrea Saenz's "Everyone’s Abuelo Can’t Have Ridden With Pancho Villa," which makes me WEEP every time I read it.

I found it in the anthology SUDDEN FICTION LATINO, edited by Robert Shapard, James Thomas, and Ray Gonzales, plus a knockout introduction by Luisa Valenzuela. Highly recommend.

This is a #ShortStory of mine.
A woman facing death agrees to have her mind "captured": copied into a supercomputer. What happens when a being is still human, but has no body anymore?
