Why So Angry: Refusing to Forget Stories of Abuse

October 13, 2017 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

September 16, 2015 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

Progeny in Crisis

Early in my college career, I wrote a story about my mother and her cancer and I. People seemed to like it and I got an award and it was published and someone said I would receive one hundred dollars for being the winner, but I never got that check, which is a shame because […]

Desolation

Desolation “The first day? I don’t remember anything about the first day. If I had to guess, I’d say it was exactly the same as every other day. So, I suppose the first thing I notice every morning is that dull, dusty ambient light behind my eyelids. The sun never comes up or goes down […]

Poetry: Moebius Strip by Shea Hennum

January 29, 2015 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

This week has seen a column on superhero-inspired poetry and a review of a comics poetry anthology, so Shea Hennum’s “Moebius Strip” felt like the perfect addition to the mix.   Moebius Strip Shea Hennum She was my two-page splash, My panel one, My gutter, my caption. My bombastic exposition and overwritten fiction. She was my […]

Fiction: Whatever It Takes

October 23, 2014 By Daniel Elkin Leave a Comment

There’s an ignored old sailing man in his great-granddaughter’s house who’s now too tattered to conquer the seas, too frail to even master the stairs, shut in this brand new brick Colonial-style house in the middle of Kansas. How he came here, passing through a series of exasperated “I’ve got too much going on already” […]

Fiction: This American Life-On-Closed Circuit by Shea Hennum

August 20, 2014 By David Fairbanks Leave a Comment

The pocket knife Allison Squibb had carried since she was thirteen was dull, and she strained as she cut into her arm to remove the small ident device lodged in the musculature, pressed tight against the skin on the underside of her elbow.
