The Boys of Alpha Block

By Nancy Nau Sullivan

Chapter One Intake Blues Tarvis Philip James strained against the seat belt, balling himself into a tight human fist. Making himself invisible. Well, it was too late for that. The deputies up front could see him, and worse, they could smell him and the vomit and stench he carried with him from the Bradley…

Unsteady

By Kari Childers

My eyes flutter open and I feel pain. I can’t pin point an exact location that hurts the most; everywhere hurts. I feel as if I was run over a thousand times. The only body part I can move without a shot of pain radiating throughout my entire body, is my eyes. I look around…

Werewolves of London: Chapter 1

By Christopher Harvill

Written and Illustrated by Christopher Harvill ROWDY’S STORY I was sitting at the bar with my jacket off and my old fashioned in hand when they made their entrance through the door. This had become a bit of a thing and I hadn’t wanted to miss a second of it. Avery was in a…

Pleased to Meet You: Chapter 1

By Christopher Harvill

Written and Illustrated by Christopher Harvill I am asked what I am. There is a simple child’s game called Telephone. Whisper something to your neighbor. Pass it on around a circle. Watch what was said now changed at the end. Stretch the game over millennia, and you have legends. Folklore. Myths. Fairy Tales. I am…

A Runaway

By Gareth Gilmore

When I got to the racetrack this morning, I think I was happier to be there than on the day I first began. Nothing appeared very different. The same buckskin pony horse was tied to the same pepper tree at the same barn. The same orange tabby cat that scurried in front of me by…

The Moonshiner and the Truth: Part One

By Mimi Cocquyt

The second installment of The Literary Incident of Margaret Lowry An Open Page Series by Mimi Cocquyt “Rum and Coke, please.” Margaret blurted out the request the moment she sat down at the hotel’s bar. She fished through her purse and slapped a twenty-dollar bill on the counter. “Heavy on the rum.”…

No Man’s Land: Part Two

By L. Midnight

“Out of the corner of his eye, he could make out the lethargic, yet synchronized movements of the stretcher-bearers as they raised the bodies from the ruddy dirt onto pallets. In a morbid stream of consciousness, he conceived them as gardeners of the dead who would pick up these soldiers one by one and plant…

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Folk

By John Harvey

By John Lathrop Harvey In the Summer of ’64 it was all about the Beatles, at least for youngsters like me. There was lots more – the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the escalation of the Vietnam War among them – but, honestly, all we really wanted were mop-top hairdos and 45s of I…

Freedom

By Dru Richman

Bruce Lawrence Zebub, still in his sleeping shorts, stepped out onto the porch of his cabin. He was a huge blacksmith of a man—well tanned with broad shoulders that led down to a well-muscled stomach and impossibly narrow hips. He had mighty oaks for legs. And even though his hands were well callused from years…

By Dru Richman

There are moments in one’s life that, years later, when you look back in retrospect, and say, “That was the best” or “That was the worst” or “That changed my life forever.” This story is about one of those incredible times. It was the 12th of February. I remember it because it was the day…
