Andrew Magenti

by Allen Kopp For as long as I live I won’t forget the night the young master was born. It was during a night of the worst thunderstorms I ever witnessed in all my life. All the fury of the heavens was unleashed upon us. The rain, thunder, lightning and wind tore at the old [...]

The Water – Grave Retribution

by R.L. King “This can’t be happening to me, who is going to look after my mother?” “Fuck your mother. If you don’t shut up, I’ll set you on fire right now.” “If you’re just trying to scare me, you can stop now. I know you’re not really going to kill me.” She said, slumping [...]

Death Dream

by Brett E. Devlin I dreamed a death, a death in my dream. A death dream in life, or so it seemed. I dreamed my own death in the beginning of life. I was murdered in blood, I was killed with a knife. My throat was slit, my life was drained. I was left in [...]

Miles To Go Before I Sleep

by Yousef Algahtani Exhaustion crept through him as night began to fall, or better yet, day fell and night began its rise. His horse trotted along at a slow pace, though steady and making time, leaving tracks with every step in the perfect blanket of snow. “Not much further now, old boy.” The man whispered [...]

Last Rites

by Marc Colten Cathy Epstein could not resist relocating some of the floral offerings. Since some people had so many, while others seemed to have been forgotten, it didn’t seem wrong to take a few flowers from one to leave for someone else, at least those she could reach. It had never bothered Cathy that [...]

Glistening Tricks

by Matthew Raup We had met somewhat precariously. Had I not known what she was before I met her, things might have turned out differently. The book I had read in the very back of the library when I was fifteen turned me onto a dimension of reality that most never even have a passing [...]

Let’s Make A Deal

by Matthew Raup 10:45 A.M. “Looks like rain today,” I said to Sue, the just-beyond-middle-aged woman at customer service. She looked around blankly as I strolled away. I could have turned and reiterated, but I knew she was way too burnt out to care. She was great. But her mind wandered like a ten-year old’s. [...]

Samuel and the Woodpecker

By Matthew Raup It was an orange-moon night. The ominous orb of mythical cheese hovered above Samuel’s head, urging him on through the forest. The forest glowed with pumpkin light. Samuel was looking for something. But he did not know what that something was. He thought about his life back on the island and wondered [...]

The Call of the Wind

By Keith Deininger Jake lived in the industrial part of town and hated it. Most buildings around the train tracks were rundown and unused, their walls dirty and crumbling. It was like a fucking ghost town. Even the houses in the neighborhoods behind the old warehouses – those massive and windowless behemoths – were empty [...]

Castle Heldeur

by Michael Futch “The locals call this place Burcht Heldeur,” Greenberg said. He broke the silence amongst the four soldiers, who walked through the fields outside of Eindhoven, Holland. “It was built in 1452 by -” “I have to tell you, Greenberg, I don’t give a rat’s ass.” Campbell looked over his shoulder at Greenberg [...]

The Tell-Tale Soul

by R.L. King “This is how it’s going to be now.” The man’s ghost said. It sat off to the side, in the dense fog, where the flying dirt would not disappear through his body. “You know that right?” After everything that happened in the last four days, he did. Now, being haunted by the [...]

Bogeymen

by Keith Deininger It started with the book, that damn book. It’d felt unnatural – greasy. But it was just a book, wasn’t it? Now, the dark terrified her; and those quiet moments alone. It happened at night, while she lay in bed, quivering, sweating, too petrified to dare expose herself from beneath the covers; [...]

Death Hates His Job

By Wodke Hawkinson G hated his job. It wasn’t just a strong dislike; it was actual loathing. He thought about it as he pulled on his blue jeans, gray t-shirt, and bent to fasten his black boots. With a feeling like weariness, which was surely impossible for him, he shrugged into his black hoodie and [...]

Love, I Don’t Yet Know

by John Elliott Don’t ask me of love, For love, I don’t yet know. Ask me of alcohol, drugs and food, Ask me of life, Ask me of death, Ask me of kings, queens, presidents and pharaohs. Ask me of laughter, happiness, anger and sorrow. But don’t ask me of love, For love, I don’t [...]
