Camera Cracks

October 18, 2016October 6, 2018 Rebecca Charlotte

She wants to turn on the camera. Needs to turn on the camera. Must not turn on the camera. But feels compelled to hide behind her mask of peacock feathers and rage. And dance, dance for nameless, blameless faces, who fill her up with money. The closest thing to love Read more

Dibs

October 18, 2016October 6, 2018 Paakhi Bhatnagar

I stand there, crazy. No space ships waiting or begging me to clean up dust. Stars away stare into me like fire, encroaching. Single files blocking any desire left in me. Carefree and free was bound to be a slave. A worker in a field had a plate-gruel and a Read more

Of Flowers and Thorns

October 17, 2016October 6, 2018 Lorna McGinnis

My friend is like a hummingbird, flapping her wings eighty times per second. Her voice goes up an octave when she talks about him and her words spill out of her like flower petals on parade. The symptoms of first love, or lust, or wanting, or whatever it is. She Read more

The Messenger

October 16, 2016September 14, 2018 Michael Fanning

Brian Gardner parked the BMW in the empty lot. He had never come to the park this late to run but Professor Davis insisted on seeing him before the break. “Focus seems off this term, Gardner. Is anything wrong?” Of course nothing was wrong, just planning a wedding while attending Read more

Pink Dreams

October 16, 2016October 6, 2018 Giulia Catani

Golden mist in silver light. Known certainties fall, to make room for unknown thoughts, that shake my skin. His heaven eyes intoxicate my mind, as frantic waves. The wind blows bully in my heart, raising sand clouds that obscure the view of everything. I walk unfamiliar streets. I do not Read more

Overrun By Assholes

October 15, 2016October 6, 2018 SA Smith

What do you do when you’re a nice person and you are attacked by an asshole? I think most of us are nice by nature. We are willing to put up with others being annoying in public because we are nice. We don’t want to lessen their experience because they Read more

Telling the Maverick Good-bye

October 15, 2016October 6, 2018 Sharon Svendsen

I rattled in dull blue uncertainty until low-tread Maverick tires threatened to blow and the rims were almost ready to fall off. I fed water to the radiator on every trip. Finally got the thing re-cored. The timing belt broke on the way to Salem, Oregon. Aligning the wheels would Read more
