  • Erin Osgood: A QUARTER PLACED ON RAILROAD TRACKS by Steven G. Martin

    Life is all about choices, opportunities, and unpredictability. Martin's piece describes this well with the story of two friends after their high school graduation. What is said, and most importantly what is not said, between these characters is intriguing.

  • Erin Osgood: ON ROBOTS AND RAINDROPS by Monica Cross
    “

    At first read, it would be easy to say this piece is a story about companionship and the need to have connections in one's life. However, Cross' story made me think about rigidity and how people get accustomed to their ways. It can be frustrating to try and reason with someone who only sees his or her own side. A wonderful piece of writing is thought-provoking, and Monica Cross' ON ROBOTS AND RAINDROPS does just that. And I am a sucker for sci-fi!
