  • Diode Issue 1 (Part 1) – Cathode (One-Shots)

      There are summer mornings that are cool and damp, and in the backyard of Clay’s house the birds chirped noises through his bedroom window to wake him on Saturdays when he could have slept in. The chirping wasn’t necessarily pleasant, to Clay it was almost aggressive, and purposeful like something martial. He couldn’t ignore…

  • The Magician 2. DTES

    Kevin lives in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, and not the good part; not Chinatown, not Gastown. The single room he rents is walking distance from a homeless shelter and he feels compelled to volunteer there on the weekends when he isn’t fixing toilets or air conditioners. During the week and in the mornings before his work,…

  • Issue 2, Vol. II – June 23, 2015

    Issue 2 has a lot of black men in it. It wasn’t planned, really, it just happened; maybe because the writers are black men (that’s most likely the reason). But I think that it’s fitting; America needs to see more black men, maybe the visibility will reinforce our humanity. You’ve probably heard about the tragedy…

  • The Black Side of Paradise 1. Bradford

    In his early days, Bradford could be seen in the yard pushing around red dirt with all happiness. It covered most of his backyard where the grass was nonexistent and he wondered until the day that he put a handful of it in his mouth, if it tasted like other red-colored things he enjoyed so…

  • The Magician 1. His Scarlet Shame

    When Kevin was in high school, his junior English literature class read Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter. He enjoyed reading then and most of the stories they read for class entertained him. He’d sit under the sun on the grassy hill just behind his house and get lost for hours in novels. He read the Scarlet…

  • Issue 1, Vol. II – June 16, 2015

    Here we go, Volume II of the PRL Serials! Oh man, have I missed this; the tribute to serial storytelling primarily in the short-short fiction form. Volume I ended about 9 months ago and in that time, the PRL Contributors have been capturing the continued adventures of your favorite characters. From Kevin, the man of…
