The Day Barbara Stanwyck Lost
Her Power over Me, a Short Story

by Justine Casagrande

My mother’s weird but pretty. She also has a cruel streak she turns on me whenever life disappoints her. I’m her daughter Gina, and when this story begins, I’m eleven and a half years old but not typical for my age. I have a special skill. I know how to handle difficult...

Our Hero Was Not Crazy
by Brian Conlon

First, he shaved his knuckles, then, he plucked the hair out with tweezers, next, he tore at his skin with his untrimmed fingernails, finally; he cut off his hands with a steak knife. The first hand was easier. He simply took up the knife with his right hand (still attached) and began to saw.....

Rachel
by Benjamin Dancer
Rachel pushed the accelerator to the floor board, and the two-tone, tan and buckskin, 1978 Chevy Scottsdale leapt forward and swallowed a three foot high sagebrush under the front bumper.

The Black Beauty
by Joseph Ditta
He was shooting baskets at the street corner, where he and his older brother and two friends had hoisted a half sheet of plywood up onto the telephone pole and screwed it on, then screwed on the basketball hoop with its first of many nets....

For Instance
by Kate Falvey
Jossy Jump and Eugene Boyle got married in a small chapel cut into the side of a hill. “No one got you into this mess,” Jossy kept thinking all during the sleepy ceremony. Eugene looked at her from time to time, with sweet, covetous eyes which made her afraid and guilty....

Dove
by Kate Klein
Sharon looked through the window into her own kitchen.  Her life was in there and all the lights were on.  True, her clothes were here in the Toyota with her, stuffed into two big duffels, and her grandmother’s quilt was in town on Carol’s couch, which she’d been using as a bed. …

The Mill
by Justin Rossier
It was one hell of a long trip to that mill. My Uncle Renee picked me up at the train station at 1am and we spent most of the night driving over bumpy farmer’s fields, the air sweetened by freshly distributed manure. …

Fish Out of Time
by Tammy T. Stone
He looked like he was sleeping at first. His hair was brown and tousled under a rumpled baseball hat. His head seemed impossibly big, but then I saw his body, which was abnormally large and amorphous, like a clown who’s wilted by the end of a birthday party....

Just Like Vietnam
by Kirby Wright
During sophomore year at Punahou High, my big brother Barry got his driver's license after passing both the written and the on-road test on his first try. He was one of the first students in our class to do so, but that was because he was older and had reached the legal age to drive. …

Birthplace
by Gary Leising
As I planned a second trip to London for college students, I wanted to be sure a day-trip to Stratford-upon-Avon was included.  My colleague, a Renaissance and Restoration literature professor, wasn’t so sure.  “Stratford’s too touristy,” was his public stance, but his not-so-hard-to-discern secret reason was that, somewhere in his post-Jacobean gut, he carefully nursed an unnatural hatred of Shakespeare.  …
