That Night

June 6, 2022June 6, 2022 MJ Garcia

Struggling to recollect a certain time of your life; that night, in particular, is somewhat like glancing through a photo collection. The photos appear to be taken by a child.

The Visitor

May 9, 2022May 9, 2022 Cate Carlyle

I had been to see Mom every Monday and Thursday for the last two years, since the day she arrived. Not that she would have noticed. My visits had become a comforting routine, predictable and unchanging. Each Monday I would stop at William’s Cafe at precisely 9 am and use Read more

midget

May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 Jodie Beckstine Killian

My ready defense is self-deprecation. Before you can stare, I’ll tell a joke about my body. Put you at ease, it hurts me inside. The boundary between humor and reality is blurred.

A Blur of Selfishness and Orgasms

April 25, 2022April 25, 2022 Lorel Rea

This cannot be it. Don’t get her wrong, she likes some of it. The sound is awesome. Sounds, she thinks, deliriously lost in the world she crafts in her head as she hopes to get just a little wet. His breathing is short; he’s gasping into her ear, her neck, Read more

14 Detours to Asia

April 4, 2022April 4, 2022 Christina Strigas
