    Message From a Distant Planet by John Grey

    July 1, 2019 /

    We apologize for our shipand the poor souls who occupy it.It’s piloted from afar.Distant computers have guided it through meteorite armiesand the clouds of cosmic dust,but the engines cannot burn their fuel forever.We had to land it somewhere.I’m sorry it had to be your planet.

    June 10th, 1998 I hold up the pair of skeleton keys, clipped together with a golden seven keychain. Mother’s only forty-eight but the cancer makes her seem older. “You’ll need those to contact him.”  She means my father. A man I’ve met twice. A man who blamed his life long…

    The Time Train by Thai Lynne

    July 1, 2019 /

    Dallas is waiting for a train. She is slumped on a smooth marble bench, knees drawn up to her chest, arms wrapped around them, chest heavy with the occasional shuddering breath. She looks out over the water, clear blue reflecting the sparkling sun and perfect fluffy clouds. It is like…

    There once was a boy in a tree in a forest.  This was his home, in that forest, in that tree.  It was a young forest, not overgrown or forbidding, a place of verdant life and cool earth, a painting all browns and greens.   The boy would walk for days under the…

    The Directory by Rebecca Coyte

    July 1, 2019 /

    Airports have always terrified me. It may seem foolish that something as innocuous as an airport could instill such fear in a person, but the idea of them positively disturbs me. That tentative, in-between place where people last touched ground, soon to board a gravity-defying, cylindrical enclosed tube, about to…
