Fell Our Selves

by Aline-Mwezi Niyonsenga

Content warning: death and suicide ideation Here Dustin “And this is the control room!” Dustin stifled a yawn. His new employer bounced on her toes, sprightly for a predawn start. Her coily hair bounced along with her. Akeza, her name was. “Do you like it?” she asked. “Looks like it’s in functioning order.” “Killjoy.” The […]

Hydroplaning

by Peter Medeiros

Chapter One I drove into Deepcalm, the single small town on the edge of Lake Caill, peering through veils of rain for my hotel. Then my tires left the ground and the world fell away. It was rainy. I had been driving too fast and with no thought for the rain on the road. I […]
