In Need of A Ledge
by Mame Ekblom Cudd

No funerals this time,” my mother says. “We’re going to fish and laugh. Do you hear me, children? We must laugh.” She shouts from the front seat of the car, unable to turn around—pinned in between my father and grandfather.

The Prophet
by  Lucille Lang Day

Sid tried to do everything right. He graduated at the top of his class in high school, received his MBA from Berkeley when he was twenty-three, married a slender, intelligent woman with light brown hair and an upturned nose, bought a four-bedroom Tudor-style home with a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay Area, and fathered

Seeing the Clock Work
by Renato Escudero

Note to self: she keeps asking me why am I in so much competition with him? “Pero, doctora,” I protest, “he’s a bum who doesn’t have a job, and he’s always loitering around the store.”  Twigs hang from his matted hair, like he’s been sleeping on the grass again....

Bigfoot
by Zeke Jarvis

Alex was sitting in a folding chair and whistling, which was always murder on Drew’s headaches.  Whistling was better than listening to him talk about the need for a vegetarian UFC champ, but not that much.  Even worse, he was doing some kind of remix of an old-school punk song

See Anything but Me
by Kristin Lieberman
Would you like me to convert to Judaism?” Laura smiled neatly as she poured Michael a cup of coffee on Sunday morning. Their son, Charlie, sat at the kitchen table spooning whole wheat Cheerios and two-percent organic milk into his mouth while squinting at the front page of the Sunday Times. “Michael, we were married by a rabbi.”...

America’s Birthday Party
by William Matthew McCarter

The 4th of July finally arrived and Jake and I patiently waited for his dad to get to Gram’s so we could go camping.  We were excited about the possibility of finally getting to light up all of the fireworks that we had bought at Mr. Matthias' stand. Uncle Jake surprised us when he walked in the door with his new girlfriend...

The Walkers of ----.
by Ron Singer

That summer, in the hamlet of ----, Maine, people took to walking the roads. This development was occasioned by a meeting at the town hall, a building dating back to the early 20th century, when the hamlet still was a town. As for the “meeting,” it was actually a presentation. Sponsored by the State Department of Health, it began with a graphic depiction

The Call of the West
by Barbara Stephens

Noreen Akins rubbed a piece of ice from her tea against her neck and down her chest. The droplets eased the heat that rose from the 96 degree temperature of a late August afternoon in Parson’s Basin, Texas. The barren wasteland stretched for miles, and pump-jacks dotted the landscape every forty acres, some forcing out the blackness, others frozen, their dinosaur-shaped heads

Weighting Game
by Terry Barr
You’ve lost too much weight! You look…GAUNT!” The anxiety in my mother’s voice shakes my confidence. It’s amazing the power she exerts over me. How can one remark reduce me to that emotionally stunted boy I thought I had shed years ago? I hwalk away from her...

Ice Cream Identity
by Mackenzie Brown
I should be a fifth-generation ice cream maker.  Not just any ice cream maker though.  Not for Kemp’s, Blue Bunny, Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry’s, Cold Stone, or Edy’s, but for Brown’s Velvet Ice Cream, the homegrown label and legacy my great-great-grandfather Carl Brown began in 1916.  Now the abandoned creamery stands in silence...

Something Happened
by Alisa Wolf
When I got home on the evening of Labor Day 2000, the light was blinking on the answering machine: one message. I pressed the button. It was my sister. She had called only sporadically over the previous thirteen years and not at all for the past three. So when she said...
