“The Seventh Column” by Claudia Wysocky
Once again Diderot’s beautiful ruin stands in the corner of my mind,the great book-city he described in Les Bijoux Indiscrets. It stands there with its cupola and wings and spires;the vast cranes that have been thrown up over the roofs,the towers of every color and shape, like laments;the wide-open windows that look out across the city’s view:and…

“Repairing a Suddenly-Winter Day” by Shamik Banerjee
Bring on a steamy, sugared something. Dawn Arrived and fled too soon, but gave its chill To us. Before the Bluethroat ends her trill, Set up the cookstove. Make some stew. Get up And look! a misty cloak has veiled our tree. The panes appear as frozen lakes. The lanes Are lined with little, dinky…

“The Other” by Samantha Imperi
“What are you?” Leigh asked. “I’m your best friend,” Malava answered. She looked puzzled by the question. The two girls lay across from each other in the loft space above the living room at Malava’s house. All the lights in the house were off and they were huddled in sleeping bags on the floor, their…

“A Descent” by Lily Wissler
The TV had been off for two hours, and Marietta’s mind buzzed, cells searching for sound to latch onto. The bright screen had become a nuisance. She had put it on when trying to mimic what she figured a normal person would do on vacation. Two episodes in, she realized no one was looking over…

“Ivory and Gold” by Elvido
Occasionally, when I’m staring at my reflection in the mirror, I pause and think: Thank god for cybernetics. When you’re looking at a body worth more than most people will ever earn in their entire lifetime, it’s hard for that thought not to cross your mind. I pity the rich fools–spending their paychecks on…

“Glory to Labor!” by Jeffrey H. MacLachlan
Soviet poster, 1975 For October glory I spurned a break for my wife’s funeral reception. I have ascended to labor reverie. After turning thirty lachrymose stings and the mirror reflected hammer sprouts from both acromions and metal sickles from the sanctum. By thirty-nine, hammers rose to each intertragic notch and operated independently manipulated by…

“At Twilight” by Amanda Grinstead
When the sky dons its robes of indigo I slip into a tranquil reverie, where shadows lengthen and soften, and mirrors hold whispers of ancient stories. A gentle breeze dances through the forest like secrets, a lullaby for my weary soul, a gentle reminder that even in stillness there is movement—a world in transition. As…

“______” by Mark Halliday
[______] by Mark Halliday He sat in a given place at a given time feeling and thinking. At his desk; in a restaurant; on a park bench. He sat on his toadstool thinking of memory and desire. But he was only a boojwah American with a Nissan Sentraand half of a serious mind. Yet when…
“The act of storytelling, his brother said, is all about where and how to leave the voids.”
