Commendable
by
Whitney Call
Lani’s
lips were fat because Lani was fat. She didn’t want to
dance because it was hard to move when her body was so fat.
Sometimes we had to get up and dance and she sat by the window
and bobbed her head from side to side.....

The
Nigerians
by
Mike Clough
The
Nigerians arrived on a cold wet day in November. They each
carried a brown leather case containing a suit, striped pyjamas,
a pipe and slippers. They seemingly had to shake everyone’s
hand. ...

Anything
Low Will Do
by
Jackie Craven
Mother
lives on the roof. She sits hawklike in her chair, watching the
swish of traffic far below. She really ought to move to a lower
floor—it would be so much more convenient. The stairs are
dark and there are so many of them. ....

Not
Everybody’s Nice as You Are
by
Richard Holinger
A
steamy July day welcomes the carnival to town. Trucks transform
into tiny-tot roller coasters, Tilt-a-Whirls and mega-slides.
Unshaven carnies mechanically unfold a multitude of metal parts,
ashes falling off cigarettes that never leave their lips....

Too
Beautiful
by
Joseph O'Malley
When
her father arrived home from his wanderings down between the
expressway and the river, and after she had thanked the Misses
Johnson and Jackson—the retired correctional officers who
lived next door—for finding him, Martha decided to take
advantage of the high mid-day sun by trimming the lawn and
finally planting those marigolds in the front bushes....

Escape

Charlene

picked her way across the hardened dirt that was their yard. To
heck with Mama, to hell with Mama, to final, effing hell with
this whole place. That was awful of her. . ...

Stone
by
Joe Baumann
The
mysteries began in their garage. Walking in from the gravel
drive, I would first pass a dust-covered work bench affixed to
the left-hand wall, a lamp bathing the rough wood in a soft glow,
illuminating the surface like a cozy office desktop. The bench
was always covered in a musty veneer of dead skin, dirt....

Hot
Dog Eater (December 24, 2006)
by
Joseph Conlin
Neither
Brian nor I want to go into Manhattan. It's a Sunday, it's
Christmas Eve. He wants to sleep late, leaving the day to
happenstance. I want to rest, being tired of rushing around for
the holidays. He came up from Maryland with Paul and Kristin, who
were married in October…

Sometimes
a Romantic Notion
by
Richard Schmitt
At
school today an esteemed member of my department said his
grandfather, at age 18, “ran off” to join a circus. I
thought: Why do people say it like that? Anyone who ever joined a
circus seems to have run away to do it. My colleague is a poet, a
wordsmith, a teacher of language, trained to be precise and
accurate. I asked him why he said ran off. “Was your
grandfather a runaway? A fugitive of some kind?”...

Iron
Road to the Deep North of Japan
by
Martin Sprott
I
had to get lost to find my way to the north of Japan.
Deliberately and thoroughly lost among the vertiginous buildings
of downtown Tokyo. It was at night, when the air between the
gigantic buildings hung still, caught in the second between
inhaling and exhaling, the city catching its breath. Dust motes
froze, lit in cadaverous white pillars by the advertising screens
and strobe lights that threw images of soap bars, coke bottles
and cherry trees twenty stories up into the sky....
