LIFE IS BUT A DREAM
by Brian O’Flaherty

Asleep at the wheel,
I wake up in a dream.
Real, is what I believe.
Knowing light through dark,
the contrast, stark,
and myself, in-between.

Lost River
by CF Lane

Sara jumped in to the icy waters after her dog.
He had slipped into the raging river.
The world went black as she saw him scramble ashore.

My Breath Caught
by CR Smith

Your beauty overwhelmed me, drew me forwards, outstretched hand reaching for a connection, until a man whispered not to touch the painting.

Twitter Story
by Matthew Hensarling

The girl wore a face of mystery. The only one that knew her true self was the boy, the boy that lay inside her, the boy she couldn’t show.

A Final Effort of Goodness
by MJ Brewer

The final leaf of an elm swirls downward toward the small blue robin’s egg, in an effort to shield it. Arriving, it discovers the tragic crack and draining fluid.

Flash Fiction
by Pam Blackthorne

T’was only after the lights had gone out that I realized I had no idea where the exit was, or if one even existed. How could I survive here?

Chancer
by Paul Streetly

She slipped over the side and watched the yacht sail away. Within 10 minutes she heard a powerful engine in the distance. Maybe the smuggler could be trusted after all..

The Violinist of Mosul
by Paul MacAlindin

As Mosul fell, the violinist fled.

Safely in Kurdistan, each tone, a tear, fell to the earth.

New roots took hold as music healed his heart.

Memories
by Megan Reis

She stared at him, not sure if he’s real. Needing to find, out she ran to the man that she loved as he vanished; leaving nothing but a memory.

LUNCH TIME
by Alaina Wetzel

I have lunch with Jim on Wednesdays. I do most of the talking and eating, but he listens. Then the graveyard keeper comes to cut the grass.
