by Misti Rainwater-Lites I’m fat in my purple shower cap and leopard print gown drinking hot coffee from a California mug.

by Josh Olsen “Sometimes,” my grandfather hesitantly confessed from his bed, “I wonder if we made the right choice keeping you away from your father.” But my grandmother quickly interjected, “Of course we made the right choice!” and that was the end of the conversation.

by Josh Olsen A dog was lying in the middle of 96. A dead dog. Black and white. Shaggy. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen a dead dog. Hell, it wasn’t even the first time I’d seen a dead dog on that very same strip of highway. But this time the shock of it …

by Karley de la Filth “Oh my God, Mags! Why doesn’t anyone know this?” Frankie yelled from inside the dumpster. It was pitch black outside, somewhere between midnight and morning. The a.m. before the sunrise. Maggie sat in the passenger seat of her new boyfriend’s car, her legs hanging out the open door. She had …
