Nothing In The Cupboard
by Liz Betz
Inside the smallest, oldest, but most immaculate house in the Alberta village of Kitscoty, Mona rocks from one foot to the other in front of her cupboards, a small tin of sandwich meat in one hand.  Just outside a piece of plastic, from the neighbour’s yard, has caught in Mona’s lilac and it flutters against the window.  Mona’s free hand moves up and down in a panic of its own....

In Tuna and Time
by Blair Bohland
Jennifer picked at the tuna steak, her fork splitting apart the white, fleshy layers.
“You don’t like it,” Ben said.
She shrugged.
“It’s okay.”
He kept watching her, watching the way...

Casting Off the Ropes
by Joseph M. Ditta
You’re soft as down and sweet as lemon.”
She was lying on her side facing away from him.  He had run his hand over her leg and hip and up her side in a slow sensual stroke before she stiffened, and he reached to turn off the light.  He then made himself comfortable, and she rolled on her back....

Why?
by Nels Hanson
The fan turned like a lost ship’s propeller plying a wide Sargasso Sea. Out the window the blue gum grove above the vineyard was growing black and I watched the outline of the Coast Range move and go still, the silhouette of a woman turning in her sleep...

Lover Boy
by Suzanne Kehm
Denny knew in the same way he knew most things – as vague notions that slid in and out of a fog -- that the baby would have been a little sweet one, breathing and warm, barely troubling the crook of his arm. Before he and Violet got married, Denny'd bought a tiny baseball mitt at Reliance Hardware....

The Old Steeplejack
by James Meirose 
The fried chicken crackled in the pan. The candied honey in the coffee can melted quickly without burning. The water in the bucket burner I’d used to warm baby bottles began to boil for the corn. The spotless kitchen gleamed, the table set....

Perfect
by Jane Stark

My husband is in love with Ruby Thompson. He comes home and I rush to kiss him in order to catch traces of her on his neck. I can almost see her face, in profile, in both his eyes, as though he’s wearing cameos instead of contact lenses. Ruby Thompson, our friend, lives twenty city blocks away in a building with old Spanish tiles on the walls of the entrance. ...

A Haunting
by Graham Tugwell
I wore rags.
And who was I in that moment? What words were mine
What thoughts?
Wind in the hallway, bringing its coldness, bringing the voices, bringing the weight and the sound of the crowd.
My feet were bare; softpowder soiled, blackmade by the black stage floor and down I stared unseeing....

An Education for Esther
by Ruth Brennan
In the late winter of 1918, the Lower East Side welcomed everybody. People swarmed, streamed, pushed, and quarreled. Streets overflowed with pushcarts, hawkers and peddlers. Little children delivered bundles of laundered clothes and shoeshine boys with blackened hands called to passersby “Hey, ya shoes need a shine.” Newsboys screamed …

Country Cousins
by Kate Sweeney
My musical doppelganger lives in San Francisco. My boyfriend, Marshall, says his musical twin used to live in Greenville but has moved to Charleston now, according to the man’s website. He told me this without missing a beat when I told him I’d discovered my Internet counterpart and that she was a country singer in northern California.
