A body on the bridge . Content Warning.
Lexi chose to come to the bridge where the body parts were found. Her coming was not connected to that poor soul, neither was she concerned about who did it and why. She was tired of her life and all the expectations that hung over her head.

Chicken Or The Egg
In the sixth month of pregnancy, my OBGYN sent me for x-rays, and then for a CT scan of my lungs. Never being a smoker or drug user, I was shocked when he told me that I had fourth-stage lung cancer. He sent me home with instructions to prepare my husband to raise our child alone and an Oncology specialist's card.

Arlan Book
Arlan Book swung his double-sided ax as hard as his body would allow. The serrated edge cut and sliced through flesh and bone with tremendous ease. The cries of his enemies fleeted with the passing gales, filling his nostrils with the warring scents of fire and blood. They were aromas which ominously aroused him, consuming his pulsing veins with hot surges of adrenaline.

Klabautermann
They were taking the ferry to the island. Icy water, black. Johnny and Owen hated it. Before boarding, they’d stood watching men drop weights from the tops of the traffic bridge to get the snow off. Yellow construction suits, harnessed, and up six stories or more, the men looked tiny.

241 Sometimes I Surprise Even Myself
Self-awareness is a big deal--evolutionarily. Our brain also creates foresight, purpose, empathy, and a sense of fulfillment. The list goes on... emotions, love, disdain, anger, remembering targets for revenge, praise, admiration, etc.

My Superhero Origin Story By Hannah Moore
This is a true story. What? Nobody said it had to be fiction. I’m a pretty ordinary person. An all-rounder, my teachers said. Shows potential. Well the thing about potential is it’s only possibility, and the thing about all-rounders is they excel at nothing. Don’t get me wrong, it makes life pretty…. adequate. I’m rarely terrified of losing my job, for example, because I believe I can secure another one before we starve, even if it wouldn’t be my first choice. It’s never my first choice.

Shades of Shadows
After so long alone, after the death of all he loved, really is it any wonder that he chose his path. Staring down into the fresh graves where his wife and son were to be buried in effigy, their bodies lost to the desolation of war, he broke away from the world. It was nothing to him any more, nothing. And yet, in his aimless wanderings, he found new purpose.

Unexpected Companion
Ever since I picked up the left-for-trash dresser and refinished it, I can’t sleep through the night. Dharrsheena suggested that my newly refurbished piece of furniture could be haunted. I doubted it because spirits usually haunt houses, not the decor. But then strange things started to happen.

Osmosis
THURSDAY In the vast expanse of the open sea, I drift—a solitary man with a bottle of whiskey in the lifeboat. My skin, bronzed by sun and matted by salt, now clings to my bones like parchment. My lips crack, and my mind teeters on the precipice of madness, fueled by merciless sun. A bottle of whiskey and I.
