One 'n Done

An entire day of the week has disappeared. That's normal, right? In What About Tuesday? Adam Wilson reminds us that should you ever wake up to find a day of the week missing due to a freak abnormality in the nature of space-time, it's probably a good idea not to mention it to anyone. Seriously. Just leave it alone. Definitely don't hire a private investigator. Oh, and definitely don't ask questions. Forget anything happened. Because, technically, nothing did.

Join Joanie, Diane, and Bette on a slow-paced, arthritic thrill ride of geriatric proportions. This short fiction is the perfect gift for anyone who loves a car chase, diner squabbles, or "Golden Girls" squad goals. This is a story for the ages (and the ageless) that reminds us that memories are only as strong as those that carry them. A weekly diner breakfast quickly escalates into three old ladies out on the lam with a gun, stolen cash, and a hostage. And don't even get Joanie started on her sciatic nerve. With the Ocean City PD slowly closing in, the ladies' relationships and personal histories will be tested. Because youth and beauty may come and go, but some people you just can't shake.

Tucked away in a corner of the idyllic Brethren Hollow development sits an unkempt wooded field. Hardly big enough to be considered a forest, and ignored by many as just a forgettable eyesore, this patch of woods is home to secrets that few know exist. After a friendly party for Brethren Hollow's newest residents, a tragedy long forgotten resurfaces and threatens to tear the community apart. Bring a bottle of red for the hosts and stop in for a subversive look into the coveted American dream.

This is a story that may be true, partially true, or not true at all. But it still definitely happened. An eclectic blend of experiences from the New Jersey Shop 'NBag, a supermarket at the Jersey Shore, The Legend of Dave Bradley celebrates the horrors that only exist in customer service. Every day, the employees at the New Jersey Shop 'NBag take care of customers, clean up the aisles, and try to maintain a personal life. They must also survive Dave Bradley's very confusing yet effective reign of chaos over the store. Before long, they have to make an important choice: get distracted by Dave Bradley's antics or get back to work? The answer is obvious.

Two souls born for each other and a price that must be paid. Instead of moving to Brooklyn to start her summer fellowship, Bryony feels drawn to her rural hometown in the Adirondacks and her unrequited feelings for her childhood love, Iris. When she returns home, no one will talk about the dying forest or what has become of Iris. Soon Bryony will have to make a difficult choice to restore the balance of the natural world by sacrificing all that she knows. Told in a queer reimagining of the classic Persephone and Hades myth, The Path Home subverts traditional gender norms and creates a beautifully haunting tale.

"Wind to Space" comes from a Buddhist meditation but also feels to me as an opening-up of possibilities, getting through separateness; the idea of being here in this place/space where it's all happening. ~ Rowan Kilduf Wind to Space is a call to action to understand how the sparks of humanity and the natural world connect to share mesmerizing secrets of universal identity and belonging. Playing with form through abstract poetry and sketches, this ecological journal is filled with moments of spontaneity, eco activism, liminal space and popular culture. It is a challenge to be in the moment and outside of it.
