  • POWER – 1 – Poisonous Love

    I really enjoy a sweet biscuit, the Boberry Biscuit from the Bojangles just up the street from the building where I tutor at the community college in uptown Charlotte. It’s that too much butter biscuit with sugar in the mix, and blueberries (or something that tastes like blueberries), with that very sweet, but thin white…

  • The Lightning God Issue 2. The Devil in the Town of Borges continued

  • Halloween Special Issue 3, Vol. III – October 26, 2017

    Tales from the Dark Parallel * * * How do we measure time in a dream? Is it a real time exchange? For every second of sleep in the real world, one second passes in the dreamscape? That is likely a subjective thing and depends largely on the events in the dream. You must compare…

  • The Lightning God Issue 1. The Devil in the Town of Borges

    Anabel stood in the doorway of her son’s bedroom. She had rosary beads in her hand and she felt each one with her fingers one at a time as she prayed in a quickfire whisper. Her eyes were closed tight. She knew that she should have her eyes open. Her son needed her then more…

  • Halloween Special Issue 2, Vol. III – October 23, 2017

    Tales from the Dark Parallel * * * I walked for a long time and eventually the bleak suburban street wasn’t suburban anymore. I was in a city, a grimy New York City from a past that wouldn’t have been kind to me because of the color of my skin. It could have been the…

  • Mirror (One-Shot)

    One day, Pam woke up and looked at herself in the mirror. She was surprised at what she saw staring back.  Pam’s every day had been consumed by a desire to lose weight. She was a mother of two and her size was understandable, but Pam wanted more for herself. She would appreciate that strangers…

  • Halloween Special Issue 1, Vol. III – October 15, 2017

    Tales from the Dark Parallel * * * Let’s imagine that all human fears exist in a place between consciousness and nightmares. And if it is a place, what would it be like to exist there? I’ve been reading a lot and I was writing even more and when I emerged from my home, I…

  • A Portrait of the Artist as a Black Man – Daedalus (Part 3)

    Dae keeps quiet during his first Bible study with the chaplain’s group. Everyone in attendance is a very devout Christian and Dae is afraid that his opinion of their firmly held beliefs will only anger someone and lead to a physical punishment that will take weeks to heal in the infirmary. He hated the sting…

  • Amazing Elroy 12. The Man is Done

    AEZg82 In one future, Alia and Kevin have a baby and it never occurs to either of them that Alia may have had trouble conceiving. The two had a baby shower with friends they had made in their new city and it was a joyous occasion. The baby was born prematurely, at just three months,…

  • Romances and Mazes – Approaching Eternity E 10 end

    AE0 Wes: Do you think he was really an alien? The woman smiles to herself. She is sitting across from Wes on a stool at the bar of my kitchen and he stands leaning against the dishwasher. Blogger: He says that ‘alien’ should be an epithet. It supposes superiority, like Earth is where real life…
