A true celebration of the constraints of time. Easily an allegory for life itself.

Random words create unique interaction. This is a glorious achievement in marketing sense of nonsense! A truly inspired take on a limiting prompt.

Sheer poetry. Words of evocation powerful enough to inspire tears. Gasps. Silence. A powerful piece focused on the stark reality of innocence lost. When we are faced with unspeakable tragedy, we turn to writers like O’Grady to speak for those who cannot.

Quick and potent. A lovely preamble to allied living.

Facts about me: I love muppets. I have dyscalculia. I love numbers. I don't know what to do with them. This short piece warmed my heart and made me smile. Well done Deb!

This is pure anxiety provoking body horror. Or body provoking anxiety horror. Or horror provoking anxiety body…. Whatever it is, it’s creeptastic. Daniel Prillaman once again drags his fingernails down the chalk board of my psyche and raises all hackles to full alert.

Adam has finally spoken the truth that Big Weather doesn’t want anyone to hear! This is a delightfully odd tale of weather predicting gone awry. Adam is a master at character crafting, here he gives us Patty and Phil, rival weather prognosticators on a day of reckoning.

Holy hell! Rachel Feeny Williams comes out of the gate swinging! A wicked tale of comeuppance that makes you sit up and take notice. Vengeance is a dish best served with alcohol. Gripping take of wayward youth and the need for accountability.

The American Dream is harder and harder to even conceive. What’s was once a rights of passage is not a minefield of compromise and disappointment. Brava Deb for this biting commentary!

They never tell us about Cinderella’s mother. Or Snow White’s. But in this heartbreaking tale, we may have some inkling as to what might have happened. We want to believe that postpartum depression is some modern affliction, but the truth of life is that it is scary. Inexplicably sorrowful and difficult to endure. Jackie weaves a fairy tale for the lost mothers and their children.
