March Highlights

  • the red-haired american

    CNF by L.F. Graubard

    “Ronald Pelton. Pale, soft voice, face like the uncle who teaches you chess and guilt. Not dangerous at first glance, but glowing underneath.”

  • this is about nothing

    CNF by Uma Jagwani

    “In the elevator, I look at my sweaty, meaningless face and feel disappointed. Not white! As if one day, I’ll step into this elevator and exit on the seventh floor as a part of the ruling class.”

  • chosen descent

    CNF by Zary Fekete

    “I think about how much of my life has been engineered for ease. How many ramps I’ve taken without noticing. How often I’ve mistaken friction for failure instead of proof of contact.”

  • whiskey and fire

    CNF by A. L. Smith

    “The library book says you need a candle, a personal item from your target, and the incantation— then, BAM! Hexed!”

  • the aching absence of song

    Micro CNF by Alex Palmatier

    “I wonder if you were put away for longer, things would have been different. Or if they gave you a guitar. What I would give to hear you play again.”

  • plucking

    Micro CNF by Chel Campbell

    “A white egg cracks. Death’s indifferent eyes cloud over with the golden yolk of time.”
