In his newest flash fiction story, Bianchi channels the tale of Tulikettu, the mythical Finnish “fire fox” that creates auroras, known as revontulet or “fox fire”, with swishes of its magical tail.
Excerpt:
“Then it shot across the frozen lake like a shooting star. As it ran, colors of the rainbow–green, pink, blue–sparked off its flaming, iridescent tail and lifted off into the sky, higher and higher, until they burst into radiant curtains of revontulet. The display grew longer with each leap of Tulikettu’s paws. Its tail streaked flames across the entire night sky like a painter’s brush against a blank canvas.”
