In
Need of A Ledge
by
Mame Ekblom Cudd
“No
funerals this time,” my mother says. “We’re
going to fish and laugh. Do you hear me, children? We must
laugh.” She shouts from the front seat of the car, unable
to turn around—pinned in between my father and grandfather.

The
Prophet
by
Lucille Lang Day
Sid
tried to do everything right. He graduated at the top of his
class in high school, received his MBA from Berkeley when he was
twenty-three, married a slender, intelligent woman with light
brown hair and an upturned nose, bought a four-bedroom
Tudor-style home with a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay
Area, and fathered ....

Seeing
the Clock Work
by
Renato Escudero
Note
to self: she keeps asking me why am I in so much competition with
him? “Pero, doctora,” I protest, “he’s a
bum who doesn’t have a job, and he’s always loitering
around the store.” Twigs hang from his matted hair,
like he’s been sleeping on the grass again....

Bigfoot
by
Zeke Jarvis
Alex
was sitting in a folding chair and whistling, which was always
murder on Drew’s headaches. Whistling was better than
listening to him talk about the need for a vegetarian UFC champ,
but not that much. Even worse, he was doing some kind of
remix of an old-school punk song....

Anything but Me
by
Kristin Lieberman
“Would
you like me to convert to Judaism?” Laura
smiled neatly as she poured Michael a cup of coffee on Sunday
morning. Their son, Charlie, sat at the kitchen table spooning
whole wheat Cheerios and two-percent organic milk into his mouth
while squinting at the front page of the Sunday Times. “Michael,
we were married by a rabbi.”...

America’s
Birthday Party
by
William Matthew McCarter
The
4th
of
July finally arrived and Jake and I patiently waited for his dad
to get to Gram’s so we could go camping. We were
excited about the possibility of finally getting to light up all
of the fireworks that we had bought at Mr. Matthias' stand. Uncle
Jake surprised us when he walked in the door with his new
girlfriend...

The
Walkers of ----.
by
Ron Singer
That
summer, in the hamlet of ----, Maine, people took to walking the
roads. This development was occasioned by a meeting at the town
hall, a building dating back to the early 20th
century,
when the hamlet still was a town. As for the “meeting,”
it was actually a presentation. Sponsored by the State Department
of Health, it began with a graphic depiction...

The
Call of the West
by
Barbara Stephens
Noreen
Akins rubbed a piece of ice from her tea against her neck and
down her chest. The droplets eased the heat that rose from the 96
degree temperature of a late August afternoon in Parson’s
Basin, Texas. The barren wasteland stretched for miles, and
pump-jacks dotted the landscape every forty acres, some forcing
out the blackness, others frozen, their dinosaur-shaped
heads…

Weighting
Game
by
Terry Barr
“You’ve
lost too much weight! You look…GAUNT!”
The
anxiety in my mother’s voice shakes my confidence. It’s
amazing the power she exerts over me. How can one remark reduce
me to that emotionally stunted boy I thought I had shed years
ago? I hwalk away from her...

Ice
Cream Identity
by
Mackenzie Brown
I
should be a fifth-generation ice cream maker. Not just any
ice cream maker though. Not for Kemp’s, Blue Bunny,
Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry’s, Cold Stone, or Edy’s,
but for Brown’s Velvet Ice Cream, the homegrown label and
legacy my great-great-grandfather Carl Brown began in 1916.
Now the abandoned creamery stands in silence...

Something
Happened
by
Alisa Wolf
When
I got home on the evening of Labor Day 2000, the light was
blinking on the answering machine: one message. I pressed the
button. It was my sister. She had called only sporadically over
the previous thirteen years and not at all for the past three. So
when she said...
