A [Microwaved Fish] Story and a Beer in Concord

About this event

## Details WELCOME! Meet us for a discussion of a short story, posted here a few days before the meeting. We hope you'll read the story in advance, gather your thoughts and chat with other fans of good writing. You don't have to be a former English major to enjoy this; consider the story an ice breaker. This Meetup is ideal if you've been looking to get to know people and make friends in New Hampshire, particularly in the Concord area. This week's story will be *Elaine from Accounts* by Franki Halliwell. You can read it here: [https://flashfictionmagazine.com/blog/2026/08/16/elaine-from-accounts/](https://flashfictionmagazine.com/blog/2026/08/16/elaine-from-accounts/) \*We usually meet in the bar itself, at the **first large, high tabl**e once you've walked down the stairs. Sometimes, we sit in the corner booth if the table is busy. Here's a[ rough ma](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kvkknC4SoOEuL80uuRE-v4eoa-oOKr04bqeFxWBcZgs/edit)p for first-timers \*Penuche's has been very good to us. Remember to **tip your bartender wel**l \*At times the stories we read include subject matter that provokes personal - and sometimes sensitive - anecdotes from our group members. This is a safe space: an open environment. Healthy and heated debate is welcome, just **be respectful** \*Have a suggestion for something to read at future meetings? Send us a message through Meetup
