Getting
Out Of Bed
Vanessa Telaro
Deep down Andie wanted to see how her life would end. In her reverie,
Andie was about seventeen years old.
A
Matter of Great Importance
Des Daly
A
pale wintering sun was rising over a sharp ridge-backed mountain
range that trailed off far into the hazy distance as Tang Shi rattled
and bumped his bicycle along a narrow potholed road running through
neat rowed rice fields
Requiem for a hat
Ryan Sirmons
The greatest mark of individuality in my fathers family
was their baseball caps. Everyone had one: my aunt, my father, my
grandfather, my uncles. Whenever the family was together, they always
wore them, indoors, outdoors, and everywhere except church.
Cyber
Cynic
Tom Nation
A full moon adorned the night sky above the city, ducking and diving
silently behind grey clouds of pollution. Her gaze penetrated the
steel and concrete lattice of streets below and illuminated the
body of a male who identified himself only as "Archos"
A
Brother's Regrets
Patrick Wilson
"Right
here!" David said.
It was a few minutes after midnight when they pulled into
the gas station parking lot. The station was closed for the
night, but David's thoughts were still open.
How Lucky Was That?
Ian Smith
A man tapped an unlit cigarette alongside me, and rattled his empty
glass on the bar. I stretched forward. I was sick of having to compete
for a beer.
Dunkin
Dreams
J Brooke
Dead Drunk in Dublin, set 'em up Joe, a drink, the pause that refreshes,
you know, something, anything to keep my hands from shaking...
Sips
Piper Davenport
I didn't know at the time that I met her, that she would change
my life forever. When I first met her, all I could think to myself,
was Huh? Where did this person come from?
Mill
of Passing Warmth
Lakunle Jaiyesimi
As if the body grows to length overnight, I roused myself from
sleep one auspicious morn and discovered a startling old image of
self before the mirror. Have I slept all my life?
Heart
Break Pass
Joeseph Brooke
Heart break pass, broken dreams and nightmare screams, visions of
some corporate monkey drilling deep into your soul with carbide
eyeballs
Mother
Amber C Wisniewski
There are those of us who often repress the haunting memories
of our childhood because our mother has violently crushed something
as sacred as youth into a thousand abandoned teardrops.
Goodbye Ouma
Colin Harris
Dear Ouma - Seven days ago I was at your cremation, and I lost
two things.
New Year's Eve
D. A. Warren
It was less than an hour away from the New Year and Morna sat
alone in the darkness
The Pledge
Matt Alison
New Years Eve was the night with his resolution being
to quit drinking for his all around health, and he felt an uncertainty
about this change.
Setting up the Aquarium
G David Schwartz
We cleared the cobwebs from the aquarium, which sat dormant
for five years. Great names like Xiphophorous maculate and Helvstoma
temmincki swam through my head
The Gig
Alex Hay
Kevin strapped on the guitar and searched around for the jack-plug
socket in the amp. A voice from the back of the pub shouted something
about Oasis and Wonderwall. He thought to himself -'Youre
gonny hear what I want to play. Nane o yur Oasis shite.
Road
Block
Mark Cunliffe
As Guy Block walked briskly across the windswept concrete square
that was optimistically called a piazza at an incredibly
early hour of the day he knew that what lay ahead for him did not
bode well.
Block-Age
Mark Cunliffe
Guy Block strode through the dull corrugated roofed, glass and
brick walled tube that Hopemouth University entitled a corridor
with a sense of purpose.
Nothing would get him down today...
Abracadabra
Alibash Chandran
Shibu was stuck dumb when he saw Mohan standing on the doorway
with that strange puppy. Its nose was glowing and moist. It was
strikingly cherry-like.
Canned
Martin Green
It was a spring evening in San Francisco in the 1960s.
Paul Weiss had gone back to his guesthouse room after dinner, intending
to work on his resume, but the sight of his cramped room seemed
to drain all his energy
Dora and her Mother
Gabriela Davies
The day that Dora was born was the happiest day in her mothers
life. Everyone; family, friends, neighbours, and even the birds
that lived in the trees had come to see the birth of the new baby
girl.
Love Story: A Narrative
Amber C Wisniewski
It is 5:30 a.m. and my husband lies alone in our bedroom unaware
of my absence. I cannot sleep. How could I possibly think about
closing my eyes when every image I see is so disturbing that I am
driven to nightmares?
Handis
George Sparling
The next day made a grand jump cut for Ralph and Kathy. We usually
swallowed our medications at night, and then the sleep of the dead.
The following day either faded in or made a transition to the next.
But we never knew for certain. That was the tao of handis, a portmanteau
word for craziness.
Can't Wait
Charles Mulberry
One morning in mid-April when a heinous cold front from the
northern United States finally finished a week long refrigeration
campaign on the South, the sun shone brighter and hotter than anyone
in Murfreesboro, Tn could have ever hoped.
Wingmen
John Whalen
We were approaching the coast just below Vinh only twenty minutes
after leaving the carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt (CV-42) on duty
in Yankee Station. For weeks we had been hitting the docks of Haiphong
and the other ports of North Vietnam and there was scarcely a target
left.
The
Perils of Illiteracy
Shobha Nagendran
The brown cow was either suicidal or grossly illiterate. How else
to explain why she did not take heed of the name calligraphically
etched upon the granite slab affixed to the gate post?
Bubble
of my Heart
Lalita Kakanadan
My Thursdays are colourful
Coz I see you on all Thursdays
Coz I see you only on Thursdays
I Died
Lakunle Jaiyesimi
I died! Pitifully sprawled. She warned me!
Resting breathless at the crossroad. It was a familiar spot I had
passed much too often, when I still had my body.
The Sepulcher
Lakunle Jaiyesimi
Are words thrown up, like mines, from relegated sepulchers in
the manner of whispers heavier than the songs of heroes?
Vinegar In The Salad
Mark Cunliffe
Nina Bale stood by the window in the office and looked out across
Londons docklands. It was 1987 and it was her year. She could
feel it in her bones,
Uncle Pringle and the Mob
Martin Green
I hear you talk about your Uncle Pringle, he said.
He has many connections. I wonder if he can help me?"
An Honourable Act
Mark Cunliff's spook story
Harry trudged bitterly up the marble steps of the imposing house
and pressed the buzzer. It was gone eleven at night, he was tired
and his feet hurt.
Our
Man in Africa
Mark Cunliffe
The jeep bounced along the dirt road sending Harry up from his seat
and back down again with a crash. His stomach was not happy about
this.
Frit
Linda Regan
Dont Put Your Daughter on the stage, Mrs Worthington!
Isnt a phrase that resounded around our house, in the year
when I reached five.
Ninas
Near Miss
Diana Bretherick
Nina
sat back on her heels and surveyed her handiwork. In all of her
eight years she did not think that she had seen a finer example
of a sandcastle.
Pictures
Andrea Ledbury
It started with a tiny spark and within minutes proliferated into
gigantic, roaring flames
Seeds
of December
Karen Maxwell
Seeds of winter are alive in Montauk. You can hear them under
your boots; easy to confuse with small tree branches or bones rising
from the deceased.
The
Tennis Match
Martin Green
Little did I know that the mixed doubles tennis match I was a part
of would signal the end of an era for our suburban tennis club
Heatwave
Carolyn Hughes
Sirens were blaring, red and orange and yellow flames soared into
the sky, and thick black smoke was turning day into dusk. Bulldozers
were demolishing trees in the path of the fire
No
Honesty In Death
Mark Cunliffe
There was a dead body waiting for Harry in Prague. All in all
hed had better welcome parties.
Fragments
by Diana Bretherwick
Diary entries prior to predicted extinction level event circa
2008. - April 20th
Still
Life
Mark Robinson - survivor
And the skies above the City bleed
down upon the earth its overcast haze. Quiet below, sinking beneath
the mist, a stale darkness pervades. With streets aloof, atom-bomb
atonic.
Seeing
Nothing
Linda Regan
Most nights Albert was distracted from his television or radio listening
because of the outbursts of fighting in the grounds below.
Southsea
Sundays 1907
Laura Patrica
Every Sunday, after lunch, Donald
Wickens called at 211 Albert Road for Miss Hattie.
The
Perrita, The Darkest Man
J Alan Billstrom
The Yuma did not bring a guitar with him to Cuba because he wanted
to buy a Cuban guitar
Bakery
Story
Mark Swann
Where
the hell did those bastards come from? Other people? Dead people?
Lost animal souls looking for a new burrow? Combinations of these
perhaps. Oh well. How deep is the well? Deep, not deep enough for
some people.
Ambulance
Chaser
Greg Jacob
DOA. Jim stated flatly. No

Celebrity
- Anonymous
Mark Robinson
' Hello.
My names Gemira and Im a celebrity.
A chorus of hellos droned up from the circular continuum of equi-distant
set plastic chairs; the voices all rhinestones, hoop earrings, tight-fitting,
size-zero clothes, foundation, fake breasts and designer stubble.

Conversations With the Trees
Karen Maxwell
We pushed off from the side of the lake with Jonathans strong
arms and his paddle extended onto the shore line. We paddled into
the center on our way, to cross over, to the other side. I sat straight
with the paddle in my hands grasp.
In
the Redwoods
Mike Blake on the Californian Road
The moon was out that night if not full, then close to
it and it shed a silver-white light down over the trees and
the bank of the river. It was a wide, rushing river that we had
crossed by a long wooden bridge to the flat, open bank (if you could
call it that) where we settled for the night.

Homecoming
Elizabeth di Grazia
The bedroom is shadowy. The bundle, a snail swaddled in yellow
flannel, curls into my chest. We rock. A homemade quilt lies at
the edge of the crib, its outline visible through the slats. Against
one wall the silhouette of not yet opened infant toys propped on
white shelving.
Life

There comes a time for everyone when you have to meet someone you
used to know. The very fact that there are billions and trillions
of people in this world and that you do not meet them all yet continue
to meet the same people, the blasts from the pasts is an odd one.
But that is what we do.

wedding anniversary.
The
Passion of Nino De Jesus
Dean Borok (extract)
Niño de Jesus frequently had marveled at the fork lift truck
on his way to work and one day, when the proprietor had left the
gate unlocked, he snuck in for a closer look. Climbing up the ladder
on the side and peering into the control booth, he noticed that
they had left the key in the ignition. After all, one might reason,
who would steal such a monster? Only a crazy man!

of Fear"
by Dean Borok
