Bowlarama

Synopsis

On Grad Night at Mexico Lanes in tiny Mexico, Missouri, in 1999, teams of four soon-to-be graduates compete for the Ronald Gilmer Scholarship, money the graduates need if they’re to find a path in, through, or out of a town decimated by economic forces beyond their control.

Alisha Firewind

by Ryan Elliot Wilson

Synopsis

The Parson family is coping, like everyone else who isn’t a fascist—pardon, a "Patriot"—with the fall of democracy in their home state. Lost jobs, healthcare, surveilled by neighbors—it’s tough all over. But unlike everyone else, the Parsons have Alisha Firewind, a therapeutic, taxidermy mule head hanging in their living room who helps them sing their struggles.
