Weakly States

Jon Doughboy

He’s thrown away conceit. He wakes up. Starts his day. Does what needs doing. The rest is dreams. Futile strivings. Farts on wishful winds.

Ones About Nana

Addison Zeller

When I turn around, Nana stares at me like a startled bird. Dream people have nothing to say once they’re exposed. They go very still and gray—heavy, like sculptures—and dissolve.

Road Trip to Lustland

Jenna Obeid Mackenroth

The air between his boys started going bad, no matter how long they tried to leave the windows open. They were getting tired of the motels and their poolside women. There were only so many sun-bleached bitches they could do before his boys wanted more.

Selling the Self

Crawlies

Highway Rosary

Jenna Obeid Mackenroth

This party is great, Maria, it’s really something special. You said this to our host as if she were our friend.

Though my version of events wouldn’t involve you.
