Uses of History
by Spencer Dew
Time’s arrow lodges firmly in Ed’s throat. Meanwhile, pyramids pop up, and empires crumble into so many carbon copies of interoffice memos, so many collectable coins.
The Career Breakthrough
by Ira Parnes
A beautiful story about ambition, rain, violence, revenge, punks and erectile dysfunction. Just another night in Portland.
One Morning at the Mini Mart
by Brian Jobe
A man finds that he has purchased a tub of margarine that has already been opened. He returns to the store to make the switch. Why doesn’t he just return it by taking it up to the clerk for an exchange? Because, like all of us, he is in a hurry. And for that he must pay. Oh yes; for that he must pay, and pay he will, very dearly indeed.
Dead End in Dover
by Scott Cooper
A story of love, travel, drugs and getting away from it all, for good. Some vacations last two weeks. A few last a lifetime.
