Dear Jacqueline

By Amy Reece Dear Jacqueline, May I call you Jacqueline? Or would you prefer, Ms. Woodson? Either way, I find myself enchanted by your verse flowing into novels about a life I never lived Although our years align. I hear my father saying, You stay away from them.

A Timepiece Story

By Rosa Meronek The room is silent. She frowns as she steps into the foyer, turning to lock the deadbolt on the front door. The soft tick of the large clock on the wall echoes in the quiet. Tick. Tick. Tick. Her gaze falls on the dirty socks in the corner. The muddy shoes. She … Continue reading A Timepiece Story

Paramnesia

By Bethany Walker I. jamais vu Tristan buttoned his wool coat against the rainy London chill, his blonde hair rustling in the wind.

They Are Seen By Me

By Jim Bates I really do see them, The souls of my dear loved ones, In the form of fluttering butterflies, Dancing across a sunny summer sky, Or in the colorful flowers blooming, Along the paths we walk, The roads less traveled. I see them dipping and diving, Like gulls and terns, Flying free and … Continue reading They Are Seen By Me

Droit du Seigneur

By Paul Siekor I’d spent my pocket money on a copy of Michener’s The Source. I loved the gleaming candelabrum on the cover. I admired the book’s Dickensian, Biblical length, its comforting heaviness in my hand.  I anticipated taking it to bed for hours of reading, engrossed in its folds the smell of new-book print … Continue reading Droit du Seigneur

From the Depth of my Grave

By Arti Rai I'm burried under the soil now resting in peace , rains have shed flood of tears , drops seeped onto  my breathless body , I thought  nature cried . A headstone showing human words would console my lying layers of earth I would heap over my brutal bones getting brawn . In … Continue reading From the Depth of my Grave

The Porch Bench

By Ronita Sinha      It so happened that Minnie started baking treats for the neighborhood kids. It began the day Dr. Fish gently insisted that Minnie find something to do that gives her joy, a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Sitting in his grey impersonal chamber Minnie’s eyes misted over. Through the haze of … Continue reading The Porch Bench
