Issue #31 finds the doomsday clock ticking down twenty days from the apocalypse. It’s full of liars, the lost, and the lonely, floating in fog and hungry for cake, eggs, and kink. All that plus Ginsberg, Khalo, and a magnificent tower of giraffes. bit.ly/3UPikhq

"Now, sex is boring. No, sex is something more complicated; it’s neutral. It‘s not stimulating, disgusting, or even a euphoric rush. It’s just something people do. It just exists."
Who is ready for "Risky Sex" by Taro Williams?

"I didn’t know when I would make my father mad. I’d tell him I liked a song on the radio or repeat a joke from school, and he’d go off. I never saw it coming."

"When you met, Dave’s eye contact was endearing, or creepy, or both. Why did he stare? Were you attractive or the brightest object in the room enclosed by the rule of thirds?"

It’s an old story: everything was coming new. Layers on layers of new. New neighborhoods gridding out like dead stars. At new airports tequila was green, snacks vacuum-packed. The clouds pearl-piled. Stores were new; registers silent, smooth as eggs.

Just found out one of my favorite flash fiction writers has never read Das Kapital and doesn’t even know who Foucault is. I’m shattered. Can’t fathom how you write 200 words about being sad at work while not knowing about the superstructure. Total intellectual irresponsibility

how it happens. You won’t know the road.
Sometimes the largest fillers are the emptiest men."

"Nearly a million people died in the Iran-Iraq war, my dad one of them. The Iraqis fired tank shells at him, and, in a split second, he vanished from the earth. Of him remained only a nameplate, a bag of memories, and a seed in my mom’s belly."

"It’s not like before. I know who I am. I don’t have doubts. Even asleep, I know who I am. But I hear things. Close or way off. A train rushes by and I wonder: Is it in my head? Is it real? "

"A sofa floating in the fog. Inside, declining, I sink in sweet softness. 6 a.m. Everything’s fine. A head chopped off by a machete. Pre-recorded. Unfortunate."
