Kiss Them For Me

December 19, 2018December 19, 2018 Lydia A. Cyrus

My body is a temple, which I will not desecrate. The phrase “virgin blood” is misleading. It means blood that has not previously been used in a sacrifice, not the blood of a virgin. Even that explanation is misleading because isn’t sex a sacrifice? Do you not open up yourself Read more

Mishap in St. Mary’s Parking Lot after 72 Hours of Marriage Classes

December 17, 2018December 17, 2018 Paula R. Hilton

Crocodile

December 10, 2018December 10, 2018 Megan Coleman

Crocodiles sharpen their teeth on a chainsaw while I sleep and dream of pianos whispering, mixing drinks, and laughing about the economy because it had nothing to do with them. I was raped when I was 16 and he 21. Not gorgeous, just truth. I didn’t even know it was Read more

Wildfire

December 6, 2018December 4, 2018 Olivia Stirton
